GreyFox Report post Posted December 20, 2016 2.0 - 3.5 depending. It's not the WEIGHT, it's the crisp break and creep/travel. I've had triggers at 8 oz (way too light) and as heavy as 8lbs, all have been able to shoot accurately; as long as you get a clean, crisp break. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southernxpress Report post Posted December 20, 2016 We use to run most things right at about 2# now I try to get them closer to 1.5# and that has come with more time behind the trigger, much more than the 2 and it just feels heavy to me. That's on our hunting rifles too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted December 20, 2016 3 pounds for me on a hunting rifle is where I like it. I had the trigger set to about 4 pounds on my AR but it strikes some commercial ammo too light to ignite the primer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted December 20, 2016 I am newer to the nice trigger thing. I only own a couple decent timney triggers, and I have left them at the factory setting of about 3 lbs. If I had more experience with nice triggers, maybe I go lighter. Those are hunting rifles. If I had a target only rifle I would probably work down to something much lighter.

pwrguy Report post Posted December 20, 2016 1.5 - 2 pounds. After owning a couple of rifles with nice triggers I can hardly shoot stock rifles anymore, if it's over 4# I don't even bother trying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metau Report post Posted December 21, 2016 My bolt guns with aftermarket triggers are set at either 1# or 2.5#, depending on if they are set up for shooting paper or critters. The ones with stock triggers are just shy of being as low as I can safely adjust them to. My AR's run anywhere from 1.5#-6#, depending on function of the rifle and what trigger I have in there. My favorite triggers are Jewel (want to try a Timney Calvin Elite) for bolt guns and Hiperfire's for an AR (never an issue with light primer strikes).

lancetkenyon Report post Posted December 21, 2016 8 oz. on a few of the rifles that can go that low with the Timney CE. 1.5# on all others (Timney 510/512 & one Shilen Match). My AR is 3# (CMC). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
