Thank you all for your comments! This is my first double rifle and I have a lot to learn about it and double rifles in general.

Tinker, I will attempt to answer a couple of your questions. I am not sure if the rear trigger is a single set, however both triggers do have the adjustment screws. I have some experiance shooting with set triggers on muzzle loading rifles (double set) and old Winchesters (single set) but have never thought about the possibility of two single set triggers. I will check into this when I get home.

I have fired the rifle with the trigger set and not set. My first shotgun was an old hammered side by side with two triggers. I went dove hunting with it and inadvertantly experianced the result of placing fingers on both triggers! Not fun! It would be brutal with the 9.3 x 74R I suspect.

I will start looking for a craftsman who can make the proper repair to the crack you mention. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have not hunted with this rifle yet. I plan to spend some more time learning about it and becoming more proficient with it first. Once I have accomplished this I would like to take it on a pig hunt up in the Paso Robles area. After that who knows? I have not hunted outside of the United States yet but would like to. Again there would be another huge learning curve. The adventure has just begun with this new rifle and I have to say I am excited!

Thanks again!
