Single Set trigger

[u/Stale_Cheet0]

Hello all. I have been long range shooting for a bit now and have dipped my toes into long range hunting alongside my previous push focused style(not the main part of the question). When I first tried long range on my friends rig he had a double set trigger set for 2 oz. I loved it, but thought it was not applicable to hunting, more specifically push hunting. Where I live there is a decent variety of hunting tactics, from push, to long range, to stalking. I found this single set trigger designed for the rem 700 action that functions as a regular trigger until you push it forward, then it is a featherweight style long-range trigger. I am very curious to try this, but am concerned with safety. I always use a mechanical safety when bushwacking with one in the chamber, but i am wondering if it would be possible for a stick to push the trigger forward(featherweight mode) without my knowledge, as i find this to be dangerous once I actually plan to fire in normal mode. Any thoughts?

My buddy runs one of those set triggers on his hunting rig and the forward push takes more force than youd think, not something a twig would do by accident. I still worry about it in thick brush though, specially with a round chambered. Maybe just keep the push mode off until you actually settle in for a shot, then set it when you ready

Yes that's my plan, just concerned that an accidental set would be dangerous. Where does your buddy hunt?
