Not exactly. Firing pins don’t [censored] on a conventional break action double(not striker fired), the hammers do. Gaping the barrels acts to [censored] the hammers. The inertial trigger arrangement has a bob-weight that slips off the first sear under recoil, and engages the second sear afterwards allowing the gun to fire.

IIRC the 8 x 57R with scope was +/- $5K. The 30-06 with double triggers, adjustable barrels and scope I have about $5,300 invested.




I got this Connecticut Shotgun RBL Professional 20 gauge S x S Sabot Double rifle pictured above for +/- $4K with scope....



My passion is perforating porkers.



At 100 yds or less, a sub-MOA firearm is not a requirement.

Ya!

Thanks, always thought a double 45 colt would be a fun rifle.

My bad. Perhaps my nomenclature is suspect. I will bow to your expertise.

Anywho, from my experience with this rifle, the right barrel fires first, always.

As mentioned I prefer the double trigger set up of my two other doubles.

Best,

Never been a fan of a single trigger on a double rifle…just wrong and defeats one of the intended purposes of a double rifle. Single trigger on a shotgun…sure.

I have found that education is costly and that on most endeavors there is a learning curve.

The 8 x 57R was my first double rifle. I do not recall exactly but in my ignorance and lack or questioning the seller I expected the single trigger to be selective.

Of the three, if I were to choose to let one follow someone else home, the 8 x 57R Double, with the single trigger would be first to do so.

ya!
