What is your preferred weight range for your triggers....target and hunting.

I like 10oz trigger for bench only work and 2-3 lbs for a hunting rifle.

2-3oz? You guys have one heck of a light touch!

 

[JimPag]

All of my B&A Competition triggers are right at 1oz. Most of my hunting rifles are at 3 lbs.

 

[Owens85]

1.5-2 oz bench rifles and 1.5-2.5 pounds hunting rifles

 

[Chaotik]

1 oz for benchrest.... 2-3 oz for F class.

 

[Dkk37058]

6-8oz for F Class shooting
1.5 pounds for hunting

I think it depends on the trigger.
Jewell's have a different feel to me than a Timney when set at the same weight

 

[LCazador]

1 oz for Bench
1/2 pound to one pound for hunting

 

[pikespeakgoat]

I like a 2oz bench and a 3 lb hunting.

Target varies by which trigger I am using. For Jewell I like 2-6 oz.

For hunting, my favorite is 8 oz. BUT a round never goes in the chamber until I am in position and ready to fire. And I never engage the safety.

 

[Andy Work]

2-3 oz for bench, 1.5lb for hunting.

 

[Ray123]

I like 2 to 4 oz for target ...and 1.5 to 2.5 for hunting...even most of my ARs run 3 lbs or less.

My all time favorite was a Jewell BR trigger that was set to .6 oz. Arnold offered to replace it but I wouldn't let him.

I put it in a 40X rimfire action for NRA Smallbore Rifle Silhouette Standard Rifle class. A Silhouette friend of mine didn't like it and gave it to me.

 

[mmcu]

1 lb for both. Helps me be consistent.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

1-2oz and 4-5lb

You got my picks.

 

[PatMiles]

1 ounce for F class. Don't hunt.
You get used to 1 ounce, after that everything else is heavy.
