On some of the older rifles, they had a set trigger. You would pull it first to set the other trigger. The second trigger would be a hair trigger. It would have a very light pull. The first trigger was supposed to keep from accidentally firing the rifle as you were aquiring the target.

To adjust the trigger on a Marlin XS7 .308, first ensure the rifle is unloaded and safe. Remove the trigger guard to access the trigger assembly, then locate the adjustment screw, typically found at the front of the trigger. Turn the screw clockwise to increase pull weight or counterclockwise to decrease it, making small adjustments and testing the trigger pull until you achieve your desired weight. Always remember to reassemble the rifle and perform a function check after adjustments.
