Tikka battue with a double set trigger 9.3x62

[300dakota]

Hey guys
I just picked up a battue with the type of trigger that you push forward and it turns to a hair trigger (not sure the exact name for it).

Anyone ever seen this on a battue!?

Common ‘set trigger’ by Tikka/Sako.
May have came original to the Battue, or been upgraded.

A "Double Set" trigger is two distinct triggers. Pull the back to set, then the front one to fire. Or fire the front trigger without setting it, but at a much higher weight of pull. What you have is a single set trigger. More common on the Tikkas in Europe, not as popular here, so not many are imported in that configuration. I like single set triggers. Have them on a few rifles.

I saw one for sale new a while back that I almost bought but got a Ruger no1 instead! I really like the tikka batue, a great rifle imo and even more in 9.3x62 and even more with a single set trigger!!

Good for you!!

I've never seen one, but I've read about them/seen them on the Sako site. I'll echo what was said above - sounds like a winner.

Can you remove the rear sight off of the battue for a receiver/rail mounted peep sight??

OP: A real unicorn. Keep it close to your pillow and go buy a lottery ticket.

Don't need to, and why on earth would you want to? Factory sights are excellent and you can also use a scope. MaSI QD mounts, for example, clear sights.

Yeah I'm saving my pennies for that one actually. When I saw this thread I went to check to see if it was still there lol.

The standard trigger on my battue is excellent.....the single set must be awesome!

Steyr calls this a "combi-trigger" and works as you describe. It's a normal single trigger once rifle is cocked but becomes a set trigger when pushed forward.
