This is absolutely true, and many types of SST's have excellent unset pulls as well (such as the CANJAR). However, setting one can be a bit hazardous under some kinds of field conditions, particularly if you have cold or wet fingers. The trigger can slip off your cold, numb finger or thumb as you are pushing it forward - BOOM! OOPS!!

For hunting, I much prefer the double-set type. They are much safer to set/unset, and give you positive control of the firearm. You don't set the DST until you have the rifle pointed at the critter, and have obtained a reasonable sight picture. Then you pull the rear trigger and next touch the front one when the crosshairs are just right! With practice, the DST is the fastest and most accuracy-permitting trigger there is.

Some people object that the DST has a terrible pull unless it is set, and that's absolutely true. I would agree that a double-set trigger requires practice to use proficiently, but so does the rifle itself. I would have double-set triggers on ALL my rifles, if they were available!!

Another feature of either type of set trigger you hear little about is the fact that they permit you to "dry-fire"your rifle without any wear and tear on the firing pin/striker mechanism. You simply set the trigger, take aim, apply pressure to the trigger, and the spot where your reticle was pointed on the "target" when the trigger goes "tick" is where the bullet would have impacted! Excellent practice.
