Trigger Pull Weight on Hunting Rifle

[Bidwell]

I have a Howa Superlite in 308. The trigger is adjustable but you have to remove this white silicon blob from the screw and voids the warranty. I was looking at the Jard trigger, only trigger I could find that is specifically for the superlite. I called Timney and confirmed that none of their triggers will work. Anyway, the Jard triggers have a very light pull weight. With the max being about 16-20oz. Is that too light for a hunting rifle? I measured my factory trigger at about 3.5 lbs. It still shoots pretty good, but would be nice to have it a bit lighter. Thoughts?

Does it void the warranty on the whole rifle, or just the trigger? If it’s just The trigger I’d go ahead and do it, since you’re thinking about replacing the trigger anyway.

If you do adjust it down, make sure you do a drop test so that it doesn’t go off unexpectedly.

I shoot a lot better with a 2 pound trigger than I do with a 4 pound. YMMV.
