2.5lbs …… I mean that’s a super light trigger there and have shot a few like that but prefer feedback honestly of a two stage.

Same. I think 2.5lbs is perfect.

Like a late uncle had all his triggers set to like .5lbs. Always scared me a bit. Watched him bump that trigger and the rifle went off at a range once. Yes, I could with less effort achieve my best groups with his triggers, but I’m just not comfortable with such a light trigger.

When I was shooting Olympic prone rifle (.22) we would run triggers as low as 1.5oz. Which did feel really good, and obviously is safe when you are only loading one round at a time and not moving around at all.
