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


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

Tried to loosen my trigger and it ended up way too light. If you just thought about it, it would fire. Realized after some pre-mature shots the thing wasn't safe. Gunsmith reset it from 1.5 lbs. to 2.3 lbs. Much better now.
