Thread: One up the spout

i prefer to trust a mechanical device that is in good working order than hoping some numpty holds the bolt half open and keeps his booger hooker off the trigger. only a few rifles are able to have half cock bolt locks but this is not really safer than just having the bolt closed with safety on as many rifles will fire when the trigger is pulled with the bolt halfway up. i feel like a lot of NZ "rules" are created from issues with the old lee enfield and by the Tikka T3 being one of the few rifles with a decent half cock bolt handle notch.

1. Muzzle ALWAYS in a safe direction is pretty much the main one for me.
