On average, Rugers have been some of the worst I've felt in guns of the price range. Worse ones usually in $99 single barrel shotguns.

But one 77MKII was a champ with an estimated 9-10# pull. Wish I'd rigged up something to actually measure it with, But you could cock it & lift the rifle & scope combo with the trigger. Then had to shake it a bit to make it fire. I actually started the trigger job with a bench grinder, so much material had to be removed from the sear engagement.
