Yeah it all comes down to a rifles use of course. Ie. I run my LR hunting rifles right down at 1-1.5 lb But my average shot distance is over 500 yards, with some out closer to 1000 yds so the ability to have a nice light trigger break certainly helps me.

My varmint rifles have nice light triggers too, as do pretty much any hunting rifle i have.

If anyone else is using my rifles i get them to dry fire a few times first otherwise its likely the trigger will catch them out.
