Lee.......I would think sitting and waiting in a stand would give plenty of time to use a set trigger.

My method of hunting is often a quick surprised shot. I don't have time for much more than shoulder the gun, and fire. In that case I won't use the set trigger.

Normally anyway. With this new gun I can use it all the time. I've never had a gun with a trigger like this. As i've said it's a single set trigger, but not what you think. Normally a single set trigger barely moves when you push it forward to set the trigger. It's more of just putting forward pressure on the trigger and it just clicks. Then it's very sensitive. You wouldn't want to use it unless the gun was shoulder, and you were ready to fire. You can also push it forward with your trigger finger

Mine is different. It moves forward a good 1/2-3/4" and then sort of locks in place. With the trigger unset of course it's further back, and is about 5lbs with some creep. With it push forward in the set position it's not only in a more comfortable position to pull, but it's about 2 1/2-3lbs with zero creep. Much more crisp and clean than unset.

So, the trigger can be set forward with the hammer in any position. All the way down, half cock in safe position, or fully cocked. I can move the hammer to any position when the trigger is set too.

Basically, I just leave the trigger set all the time after the gun is loaded. Then use the hammer to be safe, or ready to fire. Some would say why bother to have a set trigger then. I believe they did it to have a nice creep free crisp trigger. The very design of triggers in sidelocks lends itself to creep mushy trigger if they're a single trigger. This trigger on mine is the best of both worlds. the convenience of a single trigger with a creep free crisp trigger of a set trigger without it being overly light like most double set triggers.

It's a great gun, but I have to call this feature the best part of the gun.

Mountain men don't need no stinkin gloves.

"Im going the kill the man, who kills my son" What the heck? I just heard that on the movie preview. I never once read about Glass having a son in any history that i've read. Hollywood mumbojumbo once more rather than sticking to the actual story?

Yes, it's all Hollywood.

That's Hollyweird for you. The scenery will hold great appeal for me. Pete, your fingers were a little quicker this time.

I believe it was filmed in russia of all places.

If you are talking about the new film Revenant with the "Glass" story, 90% of it was filmed in Canada while some of the last bits were filmed in Montana and Argentina due to weather. Just watched it last week (screener) and it's actually pretty good. Its been a long time since I watched the original one "Man In The Wilderness" but if memory serves, the first one was better as far as story lines and acting but this new one was seriously good as far as filming and such. The camera work for The Revenant was actually outstanding. But I don't think DiCaprio had more than 40 words in the whole dang movie.

on topic of gloves. Its 10* and im taking my dog for a hike with my Hawken in hand. Double set triggers and all

And im not wearing gloves either.

That's okay pup, when you get old and crusty like us you will figure out the need for them gloves. Right now you have that young blood keeping ya warm. Old blood doesn't stay warm long enough to get to ya fingers

Don't worry he'll be complaining about cold hands when he gets back.

I took my dog for a run earlier, and my hands were cold with gloves.
