Bonanza,

Yes, ideally, but it doesn't work out that way all of the time or even most of the time. If it did, the single shot would be the premiere dangerous game rifle and not the double.

Hopdoc,

You will find that most rear triggers on two trigger double rifles and shotguns are heavier than the front trigger. For a shotgun the weights commonly thought to be ideal are one half the weight of the gun for the front trigger and one pound heavier than that for the rear trigger. I have my double gun triggers all adjusted to about 3 1/2lbs and 4lbs. Since the adjustment is with a file and stone it isn't exact but doesn't need to be either.

Good shooting with any rifle requires a reasonably light and crisp trigger. Also, when the action is fast a double rifle is shot more like a shotgun in my experience and according to the likes of Taylor etc. So I had my DR triggers adjusted to the same weights that I am accustomed to for all SxS's with two triggers. Works well for me.

You may find that you can bump up the rear trigger pull and experience the same felt effort to pull the lighter front trigger since the effective LOP is shorter and the trigger nearer the meat of your hand and this seems to make the rear trigger seem lighter than it really is, at least to me.

Most likely, the trigger pulls on a DR are too high. I found it a curious and unexpected bonus that when the triggers are lighter - and this applies to all rifles, bolt etc - the felt recoil at the range is reduced. Obviously a mental thing since everyting elso remains the same.
