Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Double rifle, front trigger first, or rear?

Jorge you are 100% correct. As mentioned in one of the above posts, my Merkel is the 140A, in 500NE, and the rear trigger is quite a bit heavier than the front trigger.

I have however doubled a .470NE when I did my PH license. That happened on the shooting exam on the charging buff. Hit the buff in the throat and square between the eyes, which the second shot was obviously from the rising rifle. It was a pass, but I developed a bad flinch from that, that took me a few years to get over. Now I find the the 500NE relatively comfortable to handle. Kind to think of it, have to go and shoot a couple of new loads tomorrow.
