The factory trigger pull on my Encore is 2 1/2 lbs. Do I dare to go get me a trigger job and go lighter?
What do you think ?

2 1/2# is a good pull weight for hunting. You could go a little lighter but on a hunting gun I don't see the need. If you get the trigger too light you might have troubles with push off and an unsafe gun.
The SS frame that I have for my BEE was brand new and was 9 1/2# from factory!! I could not belive it when I first tried it. Thought I had ahold of the spur to break it open instead of the trigger. I got the tools from Bellm and a spring kit and did a trigger job on it following his tutorial. Now it's 2 1/2# and very crisp according to my trigger pull gauge. It passed all the saftey checks.

I agree with tig, that's a good pull weight, I set mine to about 2lbs on my contenders and revolvers and sometimes that seems border line especially in a heated situation where your excited and if you wear gloves it's even worse.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist

Leave it alone. That is unless you are going to do nothing but shoot paper from the bench. Anything less than 2# is simply unsafe in the hunting woods, IMHO, and the difference between 2-1/2 and 2 is negligible when squeezing on game.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
