:unsure::unsure::unsure:........And your point is?:E Rofl: Being retired means you can actual offend those by saying, I don't care before mid way through the conversation and walking away ....or giving them "The Look" that they had better walk away very quickly. Old retired farts don't give a...

My bad as I generalized most everyone understood the purpose of a set trigger and that my trigger weights are 1.5 to 2.25 pound trigger weights. And this is why I said a set trigger is not for everyone. I for one focus on my target vs squeezing the trigger while others prefer to look at their...

With the amount of adjustable aftermarket triggers available, a set trigger on current production cartridge firearms is almost unheard of, with exception to current production early American black powder sidelock muzzleloading firearms.

In Leui Of hi-jacking the Op on Set Trigger I'm starting this OP on who uses the Time To Target factor in calculating their shot at a moving target past 100 yards. With a moving target their is a point at which the target will hesitate few a fraction of a second to totally pausing for a minute...

Depending on one's definition of "moving a lot" situation. Meaning animal is moving within a herd animal is moving - leading or following a herd animal is solo moving/grazing away from the her, as an individual, at a distance of 100 to ~250 - 400 yards This is when I want my lightest...

The set trigger on my firearms will scare everyone not use to a light trigger. 1.5 - 2.25 trigger weight is without a set trigger. Rifles with a set trigger cuts the trigger weight about ~1/3 to ~1/2+. My 1.5 triggers will be a ~.8 to ~.9 pounds. The 2.25 triggers are around ~1.6 to ~1.9...

Practice, Practice, and more Practice. There should be no anticipation on touching the trigger, or flinching. IF the set and shooting triggers are set properly. The sequence being: Pick your target Put sights on target Set the set trigger, trigger finger pointing forward/parallel along side...

Unless there is a very large trigger guard, with plenty of space between the set trigger and the shooting trigger; wearing using gloves while hunting is a "cluster". Trick to using gloves: I suggest using a "trigger finger glove" or fingerless glove/ mitten type, one of those "gloves" that...

Correct. (Regarding their use in the "USA"), Although the set trigger was used primarily on target/"precision" rifled firearms "of the day", they evolved for use on more "prestigious" [hunting] rifled guns.

I'll repeat what I mentioned in my early post. Set triggers offer a lot of advantages vs disadvantages. However set triggers aren't for everyone. It takes practice and experience to use a set trigger. Just as light 1.5 - 2.5 pound triggers aren't for everyone nor are 3 - 5 pound triggers meant...

Welcome to AH.

I've seen all sorts of history fims, documentaries, shows, and this series was one of the better series I've seen.

Let's agree that the fabulous 06 is the new 22 of the small mid bores. And with the variety of bullet weights of 110 to 220 grain the 06 is good for varmits, small game, and for North America big game and many African PG and other worldwide game species. When the 30-06 barrel/rifling is worn...

I like set trigger. It's the way I shoot. I like 1-1/2 to 2-1/4 pound triggers are all of my firearms. Would I recommend set trigger for everyone? No. It takes a bit of mental discipline,....and a lot of practice.... to use a set trigger that is properly matched to the discharging trigger's...
