I like the triggers on all my rifles to be the same whether I hunt with them or shoot targets. Around 1.5#'s is great.

If your rifle has a stock trigger that can be worked, do it.

Aftermarket triggers are great.

For hunting rifles like them at 3lbs and usually able to safely adjust to that level other than lever guns. Match rifles have used Shilen, Jewell, and Rem.40X and std. 700 triggers. I don't care for less than 2lb plus triggers on my match rifles for my style of match shooting. The sight picture w/ micrometer sights can change in a moments notice and with much lighter than even 2.5lbs. you don't have a chance of holding up and regrouping with a super light trigger. Ability to "hold up" and insure good sight picture with two stage trigger is big plus for me. Take up the slack, sight picture looks good, press it.
Not two stage, but have an old Rem.700 XC rifle with std. factory tuned trigger and it's put off many a round and breaks like glass and very dependable so far. Been working pretty well since early 70's.

Well you left out set triggers!

I like a 6 oz trigger on a target rifle but because of various competition rules end up shooting with the "standard military pull weight" of 3 1/2lbs.

This is where a set trigger comes in handy as one can practice for than and have the option of a 4-8oz trigger available.

The finest target triggers I have even used have been on Anschutz and Walther match .22 rifles, not centre-fire trigger I have used has even come close, with the exception of the Anschutz trigger conversions for various target actions, but they seem to die pretty quickly in use.

For a hunting rifle I like a reasonably crisp and clean 2lb break, whether this comes from a capable factory unit, like Tikka, Sako, Parker hale or Sauer, or from an after market unit.

Changing pull weight for temperature is one of the ways to hell, eventually one has so much to think about that the shooting itself suffers. Maybe if I shot heavy bench.

From the polls it looks like most like one thing but use something else.
