I should add that this is in hunting situations where if animals are seen the 5seconds to chamber a round results in a white tail dancing into the distance. Rifle is always pointed in safe direction and if rifle is going back on the shoulder or no animals are going to be seen in the immediate future etc the round is removed.

The idea of having someone behind me with one up the spout would give me the heebe jeebes and no way would I be doing it if I had company
