What is your trigger pull weights? I just had mine checked. They are 7.5 & 9. I was a bit surprised. | ||

Larry, they can be brought down like a similar bolt rifle trigger, although the target weight on a DR is usually 2 pounds or more than a magazine gun. PS: I received my "Goodie Box" today...Thanks! | |||

My H&H 500/450 is 4.5 for the front trigger and 5 lbs. for the back. I understand that was standard for British big bores. Regards, Tim | |||

Jon: Glad it arrived. I will send more in a week or so. Your thoughts on the trigger are similar to mine. Congrats on the bear. | |||

My John Wilkes .475 No. 2 is 3lbs 2oz for the front trigger and 4lbs. for the back. This is with an RCBS trigger pull gauge. Sweet and crisp. Dutch | |||

For a .500NE, 4 pounds on the front and 4.5 pounds on the rear is about right. Mike | |||

I agree with Mike and Tim. 4# or a bit more for the front trigger. Rear trigger 4 1/2# +/-. Every bit as important, to me, is NO creep! To clarify to others, I speak of big bores. My smaller bore DR's are lighter if possible. Wait!! I have read on AR that you pull the rear trigger first.......   Deo Vindice, Don Sons of Confederate Veterans Black Horse Camp #780 | |||

I would have bet my last dollar that the front trigger is heavier than the back. I would have lost that bet. I think it feels that way because the finger is stuck out much further. I 100% agree about the creep. Looks like I need a bit of a modification. | |||

HEYM is factory set at 2.0 kg on the front 2.2 kg on the rear | |||

Chris, that sounds reasonable at 4.4# / 4.85#. I have never had any issues at all with any of my Heym triggers. Nothing a gunsmith cannot easily take care of (to my picky taste). Deo Vindice, Don Sons of Confederate Veterans Black Horse Camp #780 | |||

Don, is that where the moniker "DoubleDon" came from? :-) | |||

 Butch Searcy builds his rifles with the same pull for both triggers - that makes a lot of sense to me........but then again, I am one of those "back trigger first" guys and have been branded a heretic by many of my double rifle brethern on this site!  | |||

I guess I'm just old fashioned. The front trigger is to be pulled first. That's why on double shotguns the front trigger (right barrel) is more open choked than the left. This, from the Book of Don. BTW, from the same book, marriage is between a man and a woman. Hence the way the plumbing is compatable. Deo Vindice, Don Sons of Confederate Veterans Black Horse Camp #780 | |||

I still use the rear trigger first. Comfortable and easy for me. Dutch "I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous" | |||

Don - you should try shooting driven grouse in Scotland some time. On incoming birds you shoot the tighter choked barrel (back trigger) first. But if you really insisted on staying with the front trigger first, you could always wait till the birds were behind you going away!  Hey - at least we agree on marriage! Mangwana | |||
