Scully Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 All I can find in my book regarding the 101 Super Grade with double triggers is a reference and photograph of said model stating that they were made for ‘Continental sale’. This example has a straight stock. Other Super Grade 101’s have a single trigger and a POW grip. Winchester 101’s are one of the most complex series of shotguns Winchester ever made, with a multitude of differences even between very similar grades and models.

steve s×s Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Thanks for reply Scully, it just got me thinking why so few with 2 triggers , I personally prefer this as I like sxs with the same setup , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 I always think that a straight hand stock is more conducive to double triggers and a pistol or semi pistol to a single trigger. Many of the earlier O/Us (Lincoln F.A.I.R etc.) had double triggers with a straight hand stock. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Double trigger over/under guns are not very common. Double triggers are usually found with either straight hand, very slight 'half' pistol grip or Prince of Wales grip. Apart from English o/u's (which are in themselves uncommon and very expensive), you see a few Merkels with double triggers and even fewer Berettas. I personally prefer a double trigger.

Gunman Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Double triggers are perfect for a game gun so that instant barrel selection can be made . Not really possible with a barrel selector on the safe button . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No argument from me, cracking guns and more available with the 2 triggers than many other makes. I just liked the weight and the smooth lines of the C35.
