What's your trigger pull weight for hunting rifle?

My Browning is as low as it can go from factory at 3lbs. I'm going to check for myself because it sure feels heavier than 3. I would like a little lower but not too low. My cousin has his Browning at 2.5.

I honestly don't care a whole lot once it's sighted in. I'll be the first to admit that I slap the trigger when I'm shooting a deer inside of 150 yards. The few times I've shot one further than that, I took my time and never noticed the trigger as much as holding crosshairs.
I used to hunt with a 2 stage mauser trigger if that tells you anything

3.5
3.8
3.4
4.0
I prefer the 3.8 and 4.0
I think under 3.0 is for bench rests and snipers.

I'm about to show some of my ignorance, but how do you determine trigger pull weight?

Big game hunting rifles/handguns 3-4#. Having said that, I need to decrease the trigger pull on my Savage Striker 308 as it's currently more like 5#.
Varmint hunting handguns, 2-2 1/2#, but only if it's safe.
Self defense handguns, whatever the factory setting is.

2.5#s, really sweet on the 10/22 and the .35

My .17 and .220 swift are both around 2. The .308 is closer to 3 but it's a Savage accutrigger.

My two after market triggers are around 2.5. That's a little light, but I like a light trigger. A clean trigger at 4-5 pounds is actually pretty frickn sweet on a hunting rifle though.
