They adjust down to about 2lbs and are universally praised .
The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood. Wilbur Smith

Mine, out of the box, was about 1.1 kg. and the trigger adjustement screw was unscrewed to the max. I had to remove the trigger mechanism, remove the adjustement screw, get the trigger spring out and cut 3/4 of a coil. Now it's at 830-850 g. a little less than 2 lbs, very clean and crisp and totally satisfying.
Wildboar, and you had no problems with the safety at the lower trigger weight setting??

Mho, it's the spring that push forward the trigger, that still does the job well. Just after the alteration (over 1 year ago) I made dozens of cocking and shock tests with no issues. I went many times at the range and a few times hunting since ..... I'm still alive and not in jail
I think the Gunsmithing solution is to use a spring of thinner wire thickness to reduce pull weight, or grind some wire stock off the outside of the factory spring coil. I think it's important to keep the spring the same length as the factory spring. Cutting coils off the factory spring changes the trigger geometry.
I don't want to argue with anybody here; while I agree that it's unwise to cut coils, I only cut 3/4 of a coil out of a spring that has 8 coils; that particular spring doesn't change anything in trigger geometry, I'm satisfied with this alteration, it proved to be safe and that's the main thing; it's a matter of opinion so I will not insist.
