Is there a consensus as to the weight of pull that is appropriate for a rifle to use to hunt dangerous game? I would imagine the usual hunting weight of 2.5 to 3 lbs may be a bit light but since I am new at this, I thought I would ask the experts. Thanks, | ||

My .375s and my .470 Capstick have always been set to 4lbs. George  | |||

I like 4 lbs too, but I do have some that are a tad lighter, around 3. 4 lbs is good, make it crisp!

I mostly have CZs in bolt rifles, so what I say applies there. I have my gunsmith set the trigger unset at 3.5lbs, and about one pound set. On sticks or a good rest you can make excellent use of the set feature. Otherwise, about 3.5lbs is good. Rich DRSS | |||

Seems that the consensus is 3.5 to 4 lbs. Will get my trigger so adjusted. Thanks | |||

Typically the front trigger is a lb lighter than the rear trigger. 4#s for the front 5# for the rear would be good on a 470+. | |||
