I’m not wishing to pick a fight but if you have to pull the rear trigger first to avoid doubling then you are doing something wrong.
...My personal view, which is a strong one, is that on a double rifle intended for dangerous game, the choice of which trigger is pulled first should have absolutely no bearing on weather the rifle is likely to double or not. I will only accept 100% reliable operation and with my option of barrel selection. Why anyone would accept anything less for the price is beyond me.
Amen!

Every double rifle user should be aware that the rule of just the tip of the finger on the trigger is great for bolts, but it doesn't work for doubles. Put your finger on the trigger up to the first joint. No more doubling.
Bingo. The modification to trigger technique that I was referring to. Most folks need to do this. Surprising how many are so utterly defeated by something so simple.
BTW, John, it was a pleasure to meet you in Reno. Hope to see you there again.
