Thread: How do you carry your rifle?

have never trusted a safety catch they are only mechanical and can fail......I carry my rifle with either the bolt closed on empty chamber whilst hunting open type country ie: hunting tahr or if bush stalking I usually carry rifle with one up the spout bolt open no chance of an accidental discharge that way. If using semi auto or shotgun I use the safety but firearm is always pointed in a safe direction........safety first....would rather miss the chance of shooting an animal than risk shooting a mate or other.
