Bobby,
I think i got your point and almost completely agree. you do need a consistent trigger. you don't have to offend the owner of a rifle with a bad trigger but also don't have to buy it. with an Anschutz, i would suggest that if the trigger doesn't seem consistent and in excellent working order, it is probably because the owner did spend hours working on it. most every Anschutz trigger i've tried out of the box worked smooth as glass. it usually isn't until we start working on them that they go bad... that is probably true of most triggers. I'm shooting a rifle with a 7lb trigger pull right now. consistent 7lbs. i'm sure i can do something to make it less than 7lbs but also sure that the moment i do i'll screw it up some other way and make it inconsistent. so my choice is to leave it where it is so, at least, i know what it is going to do. if you are looking for a consistent trigger, it would seem the best way to get one is to buy it factory fresh.
