Is 2 lbs too light for a hunting rifle? I have a trigger on one rifle that's 2 1/2 lbs and I thought I might go to 2 lbs on my 257 WM. I have to replace the factory Remington trigger and was going to go with a Timney or a Jewell, both of which can be adjusted.

Thanks.

I like 3lbs for a hunting trigger, that way I can feel it with cold hands or gloves. A good crisp 3lb trigger can be shot accurate enough for any hunting I do.

I run 2lbs on all my rifles.

I run a 2.5 two stage huber. The first stage is most of the weight with the second being very fine. Works really good for me.

2 is about right for hunting

I like 2 lbs I run a 1-1 two stage huber personally

I agree. The only time I would use a 2 to 2 1/2 lb trigger would be varmint hunting from a solid rest.

Anywhere between 2.5 and 4 is good for me.

2 lbs for my target rifle and 2 1/2 for my hunting rifles

2-1/2 to 3 lbs is my preference.

2-2.5 on personal rifles. Those don't get loaned out or borrowed. 3.5 on loaners. If by a fluke a buddy borrows one of my personal I turn it up to 3-3.5

28-30oz on all my rifles

Me too. My PD rifles are even lighter, as is my heavy .300WM. For a general hunting gun, I can live with 3.5 lbs, just so long as it breaks crisply.

3 lbs for me.

Same here.

I like right around 2.5 lbs but I remove gloves before shooting.

I won't go lighter than 2# on my hunting rifles.

I have one that is a hair above 2#.

When I ordered a replacement for a Rem 700 from Timney, I had them set it at 2.5# IIRC.

I like mine at 3 lbs for hunting.

2.5-3 lbs

Good thinkin'

As light as it will go. I don't hunt with gloves in, and don't touch the trigger until I'm ready to shoot.
