For what its worth I had a half cock put on my Tikka by Dan Hardy and he made a true half cock, so when the trigger is pulled the bolt will not slam closed as it did in the past the way that another gunsmith had done it.
He also drilled a hole so I could use the safety as well, this locks the bolt when the safety is en gauged. So when either close to game the safety can be removed then when animal seen close the bolt and shoot.
Now I know this is not what everyone does but i feel safe this way rather than just using the safety which can be bumped off.
