I've got a 22Mag bolt rifle that my father bought while stationed in Germany. It is a very nice high polish blue with walnut stock and rosewood forend. It has double triggers. The front works as a normal trigger. If you set the rear trigger, the front trigger will activate with a matter of ounces. It is a very nice rifle.

I've looked online without much info. Perhaps one of y'all have some info?

Pictures not available as it is at my mothers house 2 hours away.

Sniper actions were triggered the same way back in the day. I have had one of those actions obtained from a Nazi sniper by my dad's best friend in '45. The friend was amongst those who built the portable bridges across the Rhine. Snipers were shooting at them all the time. ... felix

Voere is a good quality commercial maker that was located in the Black Forest in Austria and they were widely distributed and sold up here in Canada in the '60's and '70's by a Canadian company called "Globe Firearms" located in Ottawa at the time (now long out of business unfortunately). Double set triggers are fairly common on European sporting arms and I personally like them a lot and have several guns with DST's factory installed on them. you have a great little gun there, but it might be a bit tough to find any replacement parts for it if the need ever arose ...? Here is some more info if you're interested.
