Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Best Trigger Weight For Mountain Rifle?

Have you ever told the truth in your life?

Wow, the "Expert" has spoken again.


[bleep], I'm going to adjust all my triggers to 10 Lbs and learn how to REALLY shoot a rifle from Lee24. I'm pretty sure when he's not schoolin' Mid Tompkins and David Tubb he can fit me in.

I can't wait to see the now legendary M70 either...

Lee, you're absolutely full of schitt, as usual...

You didn't read my post, DanAdair, so you didn't learn anything.
I said a good shot can shoot a rifle with a 10-lb trigger better than an ordinary shooter can shoot with a 2-lb trigger.

I said trigger pull is a matter of individual taste.
Just be aware that mountain hunting is usually cold, and you may not be able to feel a trigger as well. Some triggers are wider than others, so the feel of the pressure is lighter than on a narrow trigger.

Most importantly, make sure your light trigger has not been adjusted to make it more prone to accidental discharge with dropped.

If you think any of those obvious truths are wrong, I don't care to hear it.

Lee,

You must drop a lot of rifles.....

In 30 years, I have never dropped a rifle while hunting or shooting. Your analogy is twisted. A good shot with a 10lb trigger...(who has a 10 lb trigger, I'm yet to see one).

Looks like RickF had no problems killing that big mulie with a light trigger in freezing azz conditions....MANY hunters do the same thing year after year.....

Anyone who is inclined to have a light trigger is going to do the right thing and make sure it's SAFE.

Is there anything you can "value add" or is it easier for you to keep taking a condescending approach with everyone.

Hunter killed when dropped rifle discharges accidentally

Such accidents happen often.
I try to learn from the experience of others, good and bad, instead of waiting to make the mistake myself.

I don't think there is any question that accidents happen from improperly adjusted triggers along with a host of other reasons as well. I do think that a "good shooter" will shoot better with a 2 lb trigger pull than he/she could shoot with the same rifle adjusted to a 10 lb trigger pull. Of course, that would be obvious to anyone who actually shoots anyway.

Lee,

If someone drops a rifle out of a tree stand, I'm not sure a 20lb trigger would keep it from going off........other than schitt happens every once and a while, what is your point? as I said before, SMART people know their guns are safe even if they have light trigger pulls as they have done their homework.

A gun dropping out of a tree stand has more to do with the person being a fuggin idiot....

I thought about adding more to my response to you, but I have concluded that if you have spent any real time in the field, you would know exactly what other people and I have been saying about the value of "light trigger pull". Keep to internet shooting and hunting as you just don't see the light.

A 10 lb. trigger can be just as unsafe as a 2 lb. trigger in the hands of an idiot, or out of the door of an incompetent gunsmith.

I'm sure we're about to get ten pages of your self-absorbed hot air on the subject. What a complete waste of band width..

I'm left wondering how he knew that?

Puzzling to be sure

Because he invented it.

I have attacked for other safety practices of mine.

Some fools attacked me for saying I wouldn't buy a "bright" scope in order to shoot the last minute at sunset.

Some fools attacked me for saying I don't shoot game on the skyline, or when I am not SURE of the background.

I guess this is he place where some people can enjoy saying things under a pseudonym that would get them laughed out of a pool hall. They ridicule others for having more common sense, more experience, and better skills than they have. Then they expect to be treated with respect. Like Hell.

Salmonella,

The where and the weight of a rifle makes no difference to me if it is a hunting rifle. I want about twenty-five ounces creep free.

Pseudonyms in a pool hall? You've never backed up even ONE of your bullshit claims when called.

Your lies would get you thrown out of that pool hall's window into the gutter before you got through your first wine cooler.

I guess that article I posted about the rifle firing when dropped was one of those "lies".

I'll take your word about pool hall life. I don't go to them.
But I figured some of these angry yokels spend more time there than at the range. They wouldn't dare say the stupid stuff they post here in a pool hall.

Easy solution - google a picture of one, post it, and then claim you've been there. And that you invented them.

You know, your usual bullshit.

"Loco" is a good pseud for you.
Since you never said which fact of mine about trigger adjustment it is you are calling a "lie", I can't help you with your problem.

Generally, when I post a picture I took, sane people recognize that I was there, and that the object in the photo was there, too.

Crazy enough to see you as the pathological liar you are...

So tell me - who are the "sane" people here or anywhere else that believe anything you post? Or do they just reside in your head, along with your other mental illnesses?

No one can help you, if you cannot articulate what it is that upsets you so. I feel sorry for you. Leave your guns alone.

Who are the sane people who believe anything you post? Just post a link to ANY thread where ANYONE doesn't treat you with absolute derision.

I'm looking forward to those links.. Please include the picture of your famous M70, too.
