Greener: recommends, as a general rule, 3 1/2 lbs for front trigger, 4 lbs for rear.
Brister: recommends the same thing. Also likes 3 1/2 lbs for his Rem 3200 and Perazzi target/flyer guns with single triggers.
If you shoot a lot with an ill-fitting, poorly mounted gun with bad footwork and magnum loads or these new 1300 fps target loads (ugh) you can develop a flinch in an afternoon. I don't go hunting with people with release triggers.
All these frequently reviewed new guns by the boys who often look like Duck Dynasty wannabees that are coming on the market for the last 5 years at "working mans prices" have triggers that weigh as much or more than the gun does. So the "working man" needs a trigger job. Also needs a stock that fits. If its an auto it comes with spacers to adjust fit but those are "silly." All of a sudden the new bargain turns into boat anchor with too many $$/ wrapped up in it. But, the reviewer got a free trip to dove land or some preserve; "gee, gun wasn't so bad after all." One can't make this stuff up.
Maybe the gun companies should pay for a proper (English) fitting and see how these "writers" get on with a properly fit try-gun?
