   7mm tragic liked post by GriffyGriff On thread : Browning Blr takedown

   I thought I’d share my experience with a BLR 81 Takedown .308 I’m nearly 60, but still quite good with scoped rifles, but all the rifles I have are not ideal bush stalkers, so I thought I’d change...

   7mm tragic liked post by Barry the hunter On thread : Half cock or safety

   I agree - when I was doing bush hunting every fine day working I always carried my rifle on half cock and watched where my hand was - if one was not ready to shoot very quickly then one would have...

   A 708 pushing 154sst is what I’m running for what you are looking at Iv stepped down from 7rm to 280rem to now 708 Avoid magnums unless you need them, they are long loud and kick hard. The bullets...

   I am wary of safetys. Its just more fool proof not putting a round in the chamber unless your going to shoot. Had a rifle go of on me once when I disengaged the safety. Had a young guy with me at the...

   7mm tragic liked post by Ranger 888 On thread : Half cock or safety

   Some of you are still confusing half open bolt with half cock: they are 2 completely different scenarios. A half open bolt is when the cartridge is half way into the chamber, so the bolt needs to...

   Goodness me, this one again... I'll say what I said last time. After many years of what I called "half cock" which I accept could very well be "half open", I now operate with bolt fully closed...

    Got to page 3 of this thread wondering why no one else had mentioned this then saw this post. All 4 tikka's I own do this. Walking around with the bolt half closed is an accident waiting to happen. ...

    Might not be the best but my method (when bush hunting) is: Nothing in the spout while just moving through areas. If I come across great sign or an area that I think potentially may hold animals...

    That is actually how I like to run things, in the olden days when I did the MSC course, I was taught the half-open-bolt methodology, at that time, Lee Enfields were still fairly prolific but were in...

    This scenario is the reason for my aversion to the interchangeable usage of the term between true 'half-cock' and 'half-open-bolt'. On the Lee Enfield and most early 20th century military bolt...

    The way I see it there is no perfectly safe scenario once a round is in the chamber. In the old days using a mauser 98 actioned rifle I always used the 1/2 cock system, I liked it because at a glance...
