It is really hard to pin down best because there can be differences between individual guns. Some people look for and like different traits in a trigger. I actually don't want anything under 3 lbs. but it must be EXACTLY the same every time. Some guns may fire at 3 lbs one time and 2.75 the next and 3.25 the time after that.

I've always liked the Remington trigger. Tikka's are probably the best of current guns. The new TC's are pretty good as are the new Winchesters. Old Winchesters could be good, if they are worked over, but out of the box were not great. Same story with Rugers. The new Hawkeye's are better, but not as smooth as many others.

Don't care at all for the accutrigger. It is light, but just doesn't feel right. Not very crisp.
