One of the reasons you don't see set triggers is the liability, as stated above. But also, the way we hunt here in the USA is not set trigger friendly.

In Europe, typical hunting situations are stand hunting driven game, shooting from a stand, very good situations for a set trigger. You hear the drivers coming your way, you spot the game, the forester/gamekeeper tells you which animal to shoot (yes, gamekeepers control which animal is shot), you set the trigger and fire from a rest.

Until about 20 years ago, hunting here in the USA was typically still-hunting, spot and stalk, or brush busting, all of which present shooting situations that are much more improvised, and having a rifle that is readied for the shot on an instant's notice. No time for deliberate setting of the trigger, and often no shot actually taken which would require the set trigger to be unset somehow. In those situations, a set trigger is of limited value. But a good trigger is priceless.

Set triggers typically have pretty stout non-set pull weights, just the nature of the beast. A good crisp 3# trigger pull is always the same no matter what. The cost of a set trigger is important in the manufacturing of firearms here in the USA, with many people being very price sensitive, so much so that a few dollars made the difference between a sale and the customer buying someone else's rifle. In Europe, there is no tradition of popular hunting, as hunting is a hobby for the well-to-do, and cost is not as much of an issue. One reason lever actions were so popular here was they cost a lot less, not because there were no other options available.

Anyway, add it all up, and there is little chance a USA manufacturer will start installing single set triggers any time soon. If you really want a US-made single set trigger, contact Canjar and buy one. They are pricey (all Canjar triggers are), but they are relatively easy to install and work like pure magic.
