What is the best trigger pull weight for a o/u 375 h&h?
 
is it a single or double trigger O/U?
 
Front trigger about 3lbs back about 4lbs
 
Better quality doubles dont come 4lbs 4lbs front is always lighter
 
I took it whitetail hunting on Saturday and missed 3 deer. I think my problem was managing the pull weight on the triggers. Dad has a trigger gauge so we measured them and they were 10 pounds 15 ounces and 11 pounds 8 ounces.

Those are heavy triggers on any gun! Would make it very difficult to retain sight picture when you need 2 fingers or a crowbar to pull the trigger.
 
On my Chapuis side by side it's 6lb on the front and 6 1/2lbs on the rear

What double is it?
 
I would have a good double rifle gunsmith work your triggers for a nice crisp no creep trigger pull in the 5lbs front and 4 lbs rear triggers give or take a pound.

Should be other way around....
But at over 10 pounds there is either something wrong with the gauge or serious issues with the rifles triggers to start with
 
@IvW Thank you for catching that, should have more coffee before I comment on a technical issue:X3:

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
