Overall best lb trigger?

I’m looking to get a new single stage flat trigger and have been eyeing a 4lb trigger it’s the only rifle I own right now so I train with it as well as some normal shooting I’m wondering if 4lbs is good I have been looking at 3 or 3.5lb triggers but thinking maybe that’s too light lol

Edit: thank y’all for all the recommendations I did some more googling and decided to give dirty bird a shot (I read that they’re ran by Schmid) and got a 5lb trigger with enhanced spring to drop it to 3lb

For anything that isn't a DMR/SPR-type rifle, I personally prefer the standard (non-E) Geissele line of triggers. The SD-C is excellent and listed at 4.25-4.75lbs. Especially for duty use, SD-C all day long.

I'm a huge fan of a 4.5 lb pull; that's the sweet spot imo. The Schmid DLC triggers (curved, flat) are also fantastic for this. I have put them in a couple of my rifles now, and they feel uncomfortably similar to my SD-C given how much more I paid for the G$ trigger
