I'd feel no hardship with my Tangers, either. I've worked both factory triggers to 3 and 3 1/2 lbs respectively.
And I'll raise you an 03-A3 with Timney trigger.
My walkabout carry rifle is my Dad's 1927 mnfd. '94 in 30-30. In 55 years of my use, never a problem....
But nothing to my mind is more reliable than a '98.
