My gun breaks from 3.5 - 4 #, not real consistent on scale, but breaks clean.

That said, those that have Marlins what are yours, if you did a trigger tune, would you recommend me doing one?  Normally set Bolts down to 2.5 lbs or so, but this gun is light.  That said, trigger is factory and safe so I'd like to hear suggestions as to would I expect improved accuracy 'significantly' by doing a little stoning?

At that weight, and with a clean break, I would leave it for now.  Have to follow your own feelings on this though.  Where I am, it gets cold enough the extra pull weight isn't a bad thing.  I try to have all my bolt guns set at 3-3.5# as well.  DP.

I left mine as is, it's not a target gun it's for hunting. As long as it's smooth I personally would leave it alone.

Pull weight means little to me, but creep drives me crazy.
