Where is the link to the article someone posted on Jack O'Conner about double rifles? I wanted to save that link.

Thanks Mickey1, I saved it to a folder, so i could inlarge it to be able to read it!

Mac

Just load the page and click the icon that appears bottom right corner.

I noticed that Jack said they'd be better off with a single trigger! Whoopee!

Me and Jack and Jimmy Sutherland. Three of the few that have probably ever said that. Good company I figure.

Will,

Didn't J.A. Hunter also have a preference for a single trigger?

With Elmer Kieth,Jack Southerland, Will, and jim Manion that makes Four, in one camp!

With Me, and I just wonder how many others, who will not have a single trigger on a Dangerous game double rifle, I figure there's a lot more company around one campfire, than around the other!

Mac,

I'm not sure that Jim Manion is or wants to be in the single trigger crowd. I think he was just asking the question.

You should read the story, written by Brian Marsh, I think, about the guy that tried so hard to pull the front trigger twice he broke off the trigger!

Now you say Keith was a proponent. The list is growing!!

I prefer a double trigger on a double rifle.
I also prefer them on a double bbled shotgun as well.

I like the idea of 2 seperate firing systems.
I also like to have 2 different types of shells, soft and solid in a rifle, and 2 different sizes of shot ion the SGN.

With 2 triggers you can instantly pick which bbl to fire.

That's good news, to hear Jim Manion is not fooled by the single trigger crowd!


I've read the deal about pulling the trigger twice,written about by Marsh, and that was PROBABLY because the dummy was used to a shotgun with a single trigger! The happening I was speaking of, was because of an auto safety!

Yes Elmer had two doubles with single triggers, and stated he prefered them to double triggers. That was the only thing, about big bore rifles, I disagreed with him on! Addtionally, if I had his double, I would have double triggers installed, collector value be damned! My life is worth more than Elmer's rifle, to me! Even a guy like old Elmer had to be wrong about at least one thing!

Like Tony, I carry my rifles loaded with a soft in the right barrel, and a solid in the left,in dangerous game country, and being able to select in a heart beat is comforting to me.
