Single or double trigger?

[BRUN]

Quiero el solo disparador porque su el mismo como todos mis otros fusiles, Senior. :thumbsup:

?Que?No habla Espanol!! :rotf: Did you say your fussils all have single triggers?

 

[Dave K]

Press "1" for English, press "2" for American, if neither apply, find a translator and try your call again. :grin:

Single, but light and crisp.

It was -50 that day and the hardest part was dressing it out.

But that's in Celcius. How cold is that in real life?

I like double set triggers for no other reason than just because. I, however, have never shot a single trigger so I don't really know :hmm: .

-40 C=-40F that is the meeting line. I'm glad I remembered something from grade 10 science so -50C would be slightly colder than -50 F :hmm: F.K.

The only sinigle trigger muzzleloader I have ever shot was my 12 Ga New Englander.

Double triggers for me.

Good moose pic! If you mean Stuart Lk. B.C, that moose is from my neighborhood. About 40 miles from where I sit. Lots of moose here, sure wish we still had a ML huntin season though. Although...... Middle of Dec. is too crazy.... -50C is colder than 50 below F.

Haven't used double set triggers on any LR because my "homemade" single triggers work so well and have a light, crisp pull, so why complicate things? The 2 "Hawkens" {used for hunting} that I built had DSTs but the rear or set trigger was made inoperative so the front trigger didn't have excessive pretravel. The only reason for the DSTs was to be HC and later on when they were sold, the rear trigger "block" was removed and the rear trigger was retimed. Some in our elk hunting party missed nice elk because of DSTs....wearing gloves and huffing and puffing at 10,000 feet caused premature shots that to this day rankle those same hunters. Whatever type of trigger is used is up to the individual , but we certainly learned the hard way......Fred

Whether centigrade or fahenheit, those are temps I'll never experience...for sure!!

On a serious note, do wildlife move about much in those extreme low temperatures?

No they don't. For the most part you can walk up reasonably close even if they see you and they'll stay put. Especialy moose.

FDC, Yup stuart Lk B.C, your back yard. :thumbsup:

BTW, -50 is NOT the norm for winter temps up here. We will get it once every 5 years or so, we only average maybe -30 with a few dips to -40 that typically last no longer than a few days to a week at a time in an average winter .

gee..-30?, -40?, --50?, who'd know? I WOULD! YIKES ! brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :shocked2:

 

I've had people tell me that once it hits -40, any colder doesn't make any difference. :bull: . Every degree makes noticeable a difference below -30. It just gets COLDER. I guess the ones that say it doesn't make any difference past -40 means they never leave the house past -40 :grin: . I'ld like to have a primitive rondevous in the winter (-20 to -30) but can't find anyone that wants to participate . I think ikt would be a hoot, assuming you could get the tent pegs in the ground

 

[RC]

gee cody, I wish I didn't live so far away! that poundin tent pegs in frozen ground sounds like fun! an no worries bout the cooler,long ya keep it closed....and thro a handwarmer in once in a while! wait....is this gonna be a huntin 'vous? then it's doable! amazin how that huntin thing makes things more.....sensible! ha! RC :winking:

 

[Rat Trapper]

My TC Hawken came with the double set triggers and I have no problems with it. I do use the great big (Army issue) mittens on a string with hand warmers inside. Ya got a practice with what ever trigger you get.

 

[Hoyt]

I like the simple single triggers and try to get them set at about two lbs.

I have a strong preference for double triggers. I've done most of my muzzleloader hunting with a T/C New Englander, but once I started using double triggers for hunting, the New Englander mostly just gathers dust now. I like the option of a crisp, light trigger but also like having the option of a safer, heavier trigger for snap shots when I don't have the chance to set the trigger. The transition took a little getting used to, but now it's my favorite setup.
