The bolt wasn't in the gun, I had taken it out to walk across Poronui. I never like taking it out for this very reason but I do because they ask you to.
The lost bolt would still be lost regardless of the rifle I was carrying, unless of course its bolt wasn't removable in the first place.
I'll often have a centrefire slung on my back when holding the 22lr in my hands for the rabbits. I tend to have the mag full and the bolt of the centrefire closed and locked down with the safety on on an empty chamber. Quick and easy to grab, unlock and chamber a round. The Savage I settled on locks the bolt handle down and with the safety on the tang pretty much impossible to dislodge. Then to remove the bolt you have to depress a bolt release outside the trigger guard while squeezing the trigger while withdrawing the bolt. I figured that being a clutz like me I needed every advantage I could get to keep everything together.Quote:

That's a real bugger. I'd go for something you can share the bolt with.Quote:

But that is not how he lost his bolt.
He lost his bolt because he had deliberately taken it out and misplaced it, which is unfortunate but that is what inevitably happens when you separate bolt and rifle.
I am confident any land owner would be perfectly happy with you crossing their land (with permission of course ) with bolt in, empty mag and ammo in pack not on person.
Least I have never had a problem, in fact the only time I have ever been asked to show a hunting permit was by a landowner whos land I wanted to cross.
Of course i had one, be fucked now with the electronic system:rolleyes:
Leave your bolt in or ban all shot guns,semis,levers,pumps and anything else i can't think of.

Have you asked Mr Google ?
Nothing wrong with T3's ,taking mine hunting this weekend
Garry Sutton a culler in the NW and a mate of Scribe's told us many moons ago it was a classic way of not shooting deer and he shot most of his on the run. Also he never used a sling for the same reason.It also stops you having to worry about the crazy notion of half cock bolt etc nonsense.Quote:

Remington are a far smaller operation too, not saying their gear is better or worse but they are definitely the little guy compared to Beretta NZ.Quote:

Tikkas are still gay;)
I'm learning. But I do find a sling good when carrying two rifles, and I suspect it will be handy when trekking in. When I hunt the sling is usually off.Quote:
