Thread: How do you carry your rifle?

Just out of general interest, have you ever had a round go off??

OH And I check my safety at least every 1/2 hour by pointing in safe direction and giving trigger a squeeze, Even if it scars all the deer away I would rather know I have an unsafe gun than have a twig let it off.

Not a one. However an acquaintance checked his safety at the car Went hunting and while pushing through some rubbish his gun went off,, With safety on,,,Had not checked it in a couple of hours and it appeared and bit of bush got into the sheer system and rendered the safety useless. This guy ALWAYS has his gun pointed in a safe place.

Number one rule ah!!!!!
