Re: Wrong barrel first double rifle challenge

Quote:
It's conventional double rifle wisdom one must shoot the left barrel first on a side by side double rifle for regulation to work.
I agree this is how they are made to regulate. But some double rifles seem fine with either barrel first.
Test yours out.
Shoot the normal sequence, 1,2. Then repeat.
Then reverse the sequence, 2,1 and 2,1.
Note, record, photograph, report back.
As many DRs as possible.
Never heard of the regulating technique Left then Right? But then I never thought about it.
I would be curious to know what the regulators from Rigby, H&H, and WR are doing.
I do know that some fellas go with Left barrel/rear trigger first to avoid accidental firing of both barrels if they use the front trigger for the first shot. Poor trigger technique/control from years of them target shooting with small calibre seems to me……
I’ve never had that issue as I grew up using a double barrel side x side shotgun with two triggers, almost always right trigger/barrel first.
Never have had a double discharge with rifle or shotgun…….ever.
That’s my 2¢ and worth exactly that.
