I bought a 1894 Remington with pulls of 15 lbs - the damn thing wasn't worn out after a hundred years so I'm quite sure a 3.5 to 4 lb increase isn't going to wear any quicker. A Lyman trigger gauge doesn't cost all that much - you can even weigh your gun with one. I've also understood the rear trigger has a bit more pull weight than the front. JMHO
