Re: front or rear trigger

With the greatest of respect. I believe that the difference in felt pull weight between front and rear triggers, has far more to do with the angle of force and the distence from the pivot to the moment of force (the finger) than differing sear release pressures.
With the rear trigger on a double trigger gun the trigger finger has to move the trigger in a more upward fashion at the same time as to the rear. The front trigger pivots more naturally around the pin. The front trigger is generaly also longer reducing the pressure needed to trip the sear.

I believe that Bramble is correct on this point. I had both of the triggers on my big bore double lightened to very close to the same pull weight, but the rear trigger "feels" heavier by a noticable amount (at least when you are shooitng off a stnding bench, abosolutely no noticable difference with an elephant in front of you!)
I believe that it is both the mechanical leverage of the trigger and the relative position of the trigger finger itself.
But this isn't to say that many or most or ? rifles don't leave the maker with heavier rear triggers. I will say that way too many, or most, leave with too heavy trigger pulls.
BTW, the rifle shoots equally well right or left barrel first.
