My Sako has a factory trigger but suspect it's been fiddled by a smith or has an aftermarket spring as it's very very light and passes all the saftey checks.
Will weigh the pull later today as I'm well curious now

One could shorten or replace the grubscrew with a shorter one but I have never bothered.

1.5-2 pounds is a nice weight on a hunting rifle IMHO you can go lighter for sure but with cold frozen fingers lighter than that you cant even feel the trigger let alone the pull

With my sako a round is never chambered unless I am lined up on an animal, and then finger does not go inside the trigger guard until it's time to send it, however light it is it's very light and just the way I like it

I've just adjusted the trigger on a mates new Tikka, backing the grub screw out to it touched the trigger mounting cap screw didn't get it light enough.

So I removed the trigger mounting cap screw and then the adjustment grub screw, and slightly shortened the hex end on the belt sander.

To the point where the trigger is the desired weight with the screw backed out against the trigger retaining bolt.

So much nicer now, the factory Tikka triggers are pretty good once lightened up.
