Davis replacement trigger set for Hawkins style rifles

[10 spot]

Has anyone have one of these replacement trigger set ???
My question is the set trigger on
These , (when you set the set trigger
Is it any quieter than the standard
OEM equipment , on let's say T/C
Hawken? It's the Davis trigger
It's a drop in replacement. I have
A friend wanting to know he is
Paranoid about the set trigger
Click, he's thinking of getting
One of these replacement triggers

I haven’t tested them side by side but set triggers that are working properly will click. The strength of the springs has the greatest effect.

The nice thing about set triggers is with the unloaded gun and the hammer fully down you can practice setting the triggers and will find that they can be safely set with no noise at all. Lay a finger on the front trigger and pull the rear to set it. Before releasing the rear remove the finger from the front trigger. A bit of practice is required paying attention to what is happening is all it takes.

All double set triggers I have tried click to some extent. Unless one takes the time to learn how to hold the hair trigger with one finger will depressing the other trigger, then there is no click.

Ok, you posted your response while I was typing.

I know they sure are nice compared to the factory investarm triggers. I do not remember a distinct difference when it comes to the click. From memory cocking the hammer is louder.

Unless one keeps a finger on the trigger to eliminate the ‘click’ noise.

Doesn’t anybody work on staying quite at up close and personal distances when hunting anymore?

I’ve had deer look around in my direction as I click, the wag their tails and stare. In a few seconds they go back to what he she is doing

I'll relay this info to my buddy, and how to cock and set, without any clicking, to me it would be to sketchy
To try this while hunting, me personally if I hear'm or see'm before
They get into my range ,I get set and ready to fire, ifmy shot doesn't come through I decock and continue hunting

Thanks guys for all the input,

That's why I much prefer a well tuned single trigger of around 3 lbs for hunting. No clicks and no firing accidentally like I've seen happen with a set trigger.

I use a single trigger set light on all my guns. With a set trigger I'm afraid a "squirrel will fart and it will go off", to quote I think, ETipp.

All of my rifles are set to fire with the triggers set and unset. If I am close enough to worry about the noise generated by setting the trigger I'd just shoot with it unset.

Being an old bowhunter I have gotten that close as I have shot deer at 6 feet.

My choice exactly. When I had my Lancaster built I specified a single (nonset) trigger. At 2-1/2 lbs it's a bit light but there ain't no noise until the flint hits the frizzen. By then it's gamer over.
