Double set hunting trigger
The models of the series 1400 ST and 1500 ST
are equipped with a double set hunting
trigger. The purpose of this trigger is to fire
the shot with a minimum of trigger pressure
(hair trigger). The double set trigger is
operated as follows:
•Pull the rear trigger towards you until it
engages with an audible click. The trigger
is now cocked. CAUTION: If the release
pressure of the double-set trigger is ad-
justed too low, the shot could go off by
vibration. The release pressure is adjusted
with the set screw (see picture). Turn
counter-clockwise for higher pressure,
clockwise for lower pressure. The double
set trigger must only be adjusted by an
authorized gunsmith.
•Once the trigger has been cocked the
round can be fired by merely touching
the front trigger (first trigger). Do not touch
this trigger unless you really do wish to fire.
Attention:
Do not shake the rifle or expose it to
vibrations once the trigger has been
cocked. Stay at the place you wish to fire
from because otherwise the round could be
fired inadvertently. If you do not fire, uncock
the trigger immediately. Never walk about
➜
with the trigger cocked. Before you load
the rifle check that the trigger really does
operate properly.
You should be able to fire a round in these
following three ways:
•Pull the front trigger until the rifle fires.
•Push the rear trigger forwards towards the
muzzle until the rifle fires.
•Normal way as described before under
the description of the operation of the
double set trigger.
Unclocking the double-set trigger when
the rifle is loaded:
Extreme care must be exercised on
uncocking the double-set trigger.
•Set the safety by pressing down the wing
of the wing safety being located at the
end of the bolt.
•Press it down until it comes to a stop. The
graduated line must be straight in line with
„S“ (safe). Hold the rifle in such a position
that no damage or injury is caused if a
round is fired inadvertently.
•Unclock the double-set trigger by pulling
the front trigger.
There is a further, silent method of uncocking
the double-set trigger. Here, too, the safety
lever must be set to prevent the rifle from
firing.
•Pull the rear (second) trigger towards you
with your middle finger to the stop and
keep the trigger in this position.
•Now pull the front (first) trigger towards
you with your index finger to the stop and
