I own a 1970's Ruger M77 220 Swift with a terrible trigger. Getting that trigger to break was like trying to pull a fat lady out of a bath tub! It had to be over 4lbs.
So I had Zeke install a "drop in" Timney (it was apparently way more work than just dropping in and now I owe him big time). He adjusted it to just over 1lb and man is it a dream to shoot.
Most of my hunting rifles are probably closer to 2lbs, but I don't like much more than that. I just don't shoot that well with a heavier trigger.
I'm curious what most others think is the ideal trigger pull weight for a hunting rifle.
