Having the bolt locked when in half cock/bolt is a good alteration option if you do hunt this way.

If you were hunting with your finger on the trigger and your thumb resting on the safety (a while since I used a Tikka but I seem to remember you could reach both at once) I guess it would be as easy to do that way as it would with your thumb resting on a half-bolt? Good reason to keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to fire!
