Thread: One up the spout

I used to own a Remington model 7 .308 many many years ago and used to walk around using the so called half cock with my thumb on the bolt ready to drop it if an animal was seen.
Well one day i slipped over my thumb closed the bolt and something touched the trigger, i blew a big hole in the ground, lucky it wasn't in me.
Now i will only use the so called half cock if the rifle allows me to engage the safety as well, this way if that ever happened again the safety is still on. I only do this if in front or hunting alone, otherwise the chamber is empty.
