Totally agree. I've set all my bolt guns at 2.5 pounds and my levers at 3. I found no creep to be more important than pull weight within reason.Trust me when I tell you it is worth the money to either have a smith work that trigger over , or to replace it with something like a timney. I had a timney in a mauser that is , unfortunately, at the bottom of the snake river and it was awesome. I have a rifle basix on a stevens 200 that is great as well. Just a tiny bit of creep then bang! Catches most people completely off guard at 3lbs. Savage accutriggers are ok but just ok. Shoot a good trigger once and you'll fall all over yourself upgrading all of them.
Plus one on the Timney trigger. They are worth every penny. And are easy to install.
