Thread: Damn I do love a good controlled feed mauser action

And I rarely rely on the safety with that particular rifle. I use the set triggger on it and it has actually gone off before when the set trigger is engaged and I've flicked the safety off.

It's a bit of a faff when the animal you're lining up on ducks into cover then you have to de-cock, un-set, re-cock, apply safety, wait for the animal to re-appear, remove safety, re-set, fire. Easier to just keep the chamber empty until ready to shoot.

just remind me never to hunt with you after 55 years of hunting you are scary

No need, you won't be invited.

Man people are brave on the internet . .. . I have been lucky enough to have hunted with Pommy, including in some very thick scrub, and can safely say he is one of the most disciplined guys I have seen in my hunting years. Despite having a huge number of years of "experience" on him I am pleased to say I learnt a couple of things off him on our hunt together.

AS an old Mountain safety Instructor I am pleased you can endorse his safety because his postings were scary thank you for the endorsement any one who admits to a firearm that is unsafe as he did well ???
