All the people I asked to try the triggers guessed their pull-weight at 3-4 pounds--yet on accurate gauges both went around 5.5 pounds....


JB,

I recently installed a TriggerTech and found it to be very crisp compared to some other triggers. I ended up setting the pull weight ~4 ounces higher than some other rifle triggers, to match the perceived pull for commonality.

In no way do I suggest your preference is wrong.

I want to set my TriggerTech triggers at a lower pull weight than my Timney triggers. Set at the same pull weight (somewhere 2.5-3 lbs), the TriggerTech feels more positive to me, like it’s set at a higher weight. At about 0.5-1 lb lighter the TriggerTech feels about the same to me.

Again, not to suggest your perception is wrong. Just interesting that I have the opposite perception!
