Trigger question

[wfpack14]

What is a good trigger for a combo tactical/hunting rig. The action is a Stiller predator. I would like a trigger that has a weight at 16oz or so. Is 16oz even safe for hunting? What weight is everyone running on their rigs? Am I crazy for even trying to make this rifle do two things? Thanks.

I'm running Remington old style triggers on my rifles, all set to 2.5 pounds.

If you want to go below 1.5 lbs, I'd favor the Jewell, but it's not the most forgiving unit when it comes to grit and dirt.

That seems really light for hunting to me...someone else's mileage may be different.

I have most of my hunting rifles set at 2 lbs...and even that is pretty light...I have to remove my gloves to shoot it in winter or it will go off before I can feel the trigger.

Take care,Stan

Re: Trigger question

I should clarify that I think 1 lb is to low for hunting. After some more looking I am thinking I want about 2 lbs or so for a trigger with the possibility of going lower.
