I, personally, shoot a light rifle like crap with a heavier trigger. A mountain rifle is typically going to be on the light side. It's far easier for me to shoot a light rifle well with a light trigger. Hunting in mountains opens up the possibility of longer, cross-canyon shots. It's also easier, for me, to shoot accuratly at longer ranges with a light trigger.
My M7 .358 is my "up close and personal" rifle, and I run the trigger a little heavier. A bit over 3 lbs.
On the other end of the spectrum, my two target rifles have Jewell triggers set around 3-4 OUNCES.
But for a light rifle I might shoot far with, like my Montana, I run it right around 2 lbs and find that that's what works best for ME.
Trigger pull is just as personal as scope mounting, LOP, or whatever else, so I am certainly not gonna tell anyone else that my way is "best". If a person doesn't want, or trust, a light trigger then by all means they should do as they see fit.
