This video explains the function of a double set trigger system commonly found on bolt-action rifles. It details how the rear trigger 'sets' the forward trigger, reducing its pull weight from a standard 4-5 lbs to a light 0.5 lbs for enhanced precision shooting. The demonstration highlights the mechanism and the delicate touch required for the set trigger.

Quick Summary

A double set trigger system allows for precision shooting by enabling a very light trigger pull. The rear trigger is pulled first to 'set' the mechanism, reducing the forward trigger's pull weight from a standard 4-5 lbs to approximately 0.5 lbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a double set trigger?

A double set trigger system features two triggers. The rear trigger is pulled first to 'set' the mechanism, which then allows the forward trigger to be pulled with a much lighter force, often around half a pound, for precision shooting.

What is the difference in pull weight for a double set trigger?

The forward trigger, when not set, operates like a standard rifle trigger with a pull weight of 4-5 lbs. After the rear trigger is pulled to 'set' the mechanism, the forward trigger's pull weight is drastically reduced to approximately 0.5 lbs.

How do you use a double set trigger?

First, pull the rear trigger to 'set' the mechanism. Then, gently touch the forward trigger. The set mechanism primes the trigger for an extremely light pull, requiring minimal pressure to fire the rifle.
