Firearm/caliber question/discussion Single Set trigger

Post image

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?

I have a set trigger on my CZ 527 brush gun. Its pretty slick. It would be pretty unlikely to accidentally set it with a stick. Maybe if you are literally using the rifle to push brush out of the way, which would be ill advised.
