The set trigger is a very nice additive. Especially on the range. And believe this or not, since most my shots are taken at unaware animals, I use the set trigger in the field. A word of warning.. take your gloves off when you want to shoot in the field. A fat gloved finger and the excitement of the moment can lead to a too quick of a shot.

Although there is nothing wrong with a good single trigger rifle. Many of my rifles have excellent single triggers.

I much prefer a double set trigger. My GPR when set is about 1 1/2 lbs. The set trigger helps my accuracy

I really prefer having the option of the regular trigger + the set trigger - so I would vote get both...

I prefer the set trigger. I actually despise the single trigger models, especially in a flinter.

Set trigger all the way.

Even with the set trigger, you can still use it as a single trigger gun.

If you get it, download the owners manual and set the trigger as they instruct. It makes the first trigger a hair trigger and really nice to shoot.

Set trigger all the way and i can't shoot with any type of glove on my fingers. i went to mittens years ago, that cover your fingers and can be pulled back quickly when it time to shoot. Ray

Well, I can see where this is going, but to offer some balance; I don't mind a set trigger for range work. However I much prefer a single trigger for hunting. There is generally more room in the trigger guard for a gloved finger, and in the excitement you can't forget to set the trigger.
