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

Get a scale, connect to trigger, pull back slowly until the trigger breaks

Friend of mine is a gunsmith and does all the adjustments to my guns. Part of the service when I buy them.

You either use a trigger pull gage or you attach weights to a string or a piece of wire connected to the trigger and pick it up until the trigger breaks.

My .308 is set at 4lbs. 3-4lbs is ideal for hunting/carry rifles. For target/benchrest rifles set trigger pull in oz
