Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Sauer 202 rifle with "shotgun trigger" (?)

Hello,

Could someone please help me underestand what Sauer means by calleing their rifle trigger "a shotgun trigger"?

Do they mean that this is a standard "single-stage trigger" as opposed to a "set trigger" (i.e one that you could make more sensitive by pushing it a bit forward)?


In general, what is the difference (feel not mechanism) between a rifle trigger and a shotgun trigger?

Just a thought-why don't ya call and ask?

yes

OK, I think this is the answer. Thank you for your help!

I own two Sauer 202s. One has a push forward single set trigger,and the other has an adjustable single stage trigger.

I also have a Sauer Model 3000 Drilling, The front trigger is the push forward set style and fires the rifle barrel. The rear trigger fires the right shotgun barrel and is single stage.

I think the reference to a single stage trigger as a shotgun type is pretty common in German guns and is probably related to this kind of arrangement in drillings and combination guns.

Thanks rural doc! Yeah, they mean a single-stage trigger. Probably it has to do with German language.. I checked their documentation and they supply Sauer 202 with 3 kinds of trigger: Single-Stage, Set, and a light match trigger. This must be the single stage trigger. I myself used to have a Sauer 202 Woverine in 243 and that had a match trigger. This gun is new, I haven't fired it yet..
