RE: Trigger lbs. ??
It depends upon what I'm hunting. Varmint rifles are normally 2 to 3lbs. I like a deer rifle to have a 3.5 to 4lb trigger. I don't like too light of a trigger on a rifle that I might be shooting with gloves on.
If a trigger is polished smooth with the overtravel adjusted right, you'd be surprised how "light" a trigger can feel even at 3 to 4lbs of pull. I've seen triggers with creep and lots of overtravel adjusted down to a couple pounds trying to compensate for a poor trigger.

RE: Trigger lbs. ??
For large game I am usually wearing gloves in cooler weather so I want atleast 3.5lbs.
I have set triggers on a few of my varmint rifles that are at 8oz but consider a crisp trigger that is 2lbs just fine for woodchucks.
A light trigger does not always make a rifle accurate. I do not work on a trigger until the rifle shows real potential
