What trigger weight is generally used in long range shooting of this type? I am aware that bench rest guns may go as low as a couple of ounces, but this weight is not often used in the field for safety reasons. If I had a 2 lb trigger on a rifle or a rifle with a known trigger pull, yes it would indeed be my decision to make. As I do not have a rifle with a 2 lb trigger , but am considering buying a Timney for a rifle I have and that trigger system bottoms at 2 lbs, I am asking for advice. This rifle is a 222rem. and I will and do use it for woodchuck shooting to 300 yards.
