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..
