A Rifle w/ 2 Triggers

Published on May 23, 2025
Duration: 0:39

This video demonstrates a bolt-action rifle featuring a 'double set trigger' mechanism. The standard trigger pull is 4-5 lbs, but by first 'setting' the rear trigger, the forward trigger becomes a hair trigger requiring only 0.5 lbs of pressure for extreme precision. This advanced feature is ideal for shooters prioritizing accuracy.

Quick Summary

A double set trigger system has two triggers. The rear trigger 'sets' the mechanism, reducing the forward trigger's pull weight from a standard 4-5 lbs to about 0.5 lbs, enabling highly precise shots with minimal disturbance.

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 firing mechanism, which then allows the forward trigger to be pulled with a much lighter pressure, often referred to as a hair trigger, for enhanced accuracy.

What is the difference between the two triggers on a double set trigger system?

The rear trigger is used to 'set' the firing mechanism, making it ready to fire. The front trigger is the one you pull to actually discharge the firearm, and it requires significantly less force after the mechanism has been set.

How much lighter is the trigger pull after setting a double set trigger?

On the rifle shown, the standard trigger pull is 4-5 pounds. After setting the mechanism with the rear trigger, the forward trigger's pull weight is reduced to approximately half a pound, allowing for extremely precise shots.

What is the benefit of a double set trigger?

The primary benefit is achieving extreme precision. By reducing the trigger pull weight to as little as 0.5 lbs after setting, it minimizes shooter-induced movement, leading to more accurate shots, especially at longer distances or when fine marksmanship is critical.
