My take on trigger weight, for the very little it's worth, is that I like my triggers to be consistent to the degree possible. I don't want to have one at 4lbs and another at 2. I've not measured the weight on every trigger, but the ones I have were right in the 2.25 - 2.5 lb range, and I try to keep them all consistent by feel. That goes for all rifles, mountain and otherwise, but the heaviest rifle I own is probably a factory mag contour with a 26 inch barrel.
There have been triggers that I could not get down to that range safely and without creep, and they were yanked out and worked on or replaced with aftermarket or with other adjusted factory triggers.
Practice with one rifle then applies more equally to all other rifles, in my way of thinking.
