Okay, just tried that, finger hurts, firing pin didn't release. It's occurred to me that these are useful interactions as none us know everything and anything we do know was either learnt through...

Half cock is an outdated generational hand me down, just like yards.

Might be a little controversial for some however I use a topo app on my phone for navigation. You get one chart free and you can delete it and load another for free. If you want multiple charts I...

Things I have bought relatively cheaply: - Secondhand pack as Moa Hunter says. - Torpedo7 inflatable mat. - Bahco knife. - AliExpress trekking poles if you're into them (I shoot off them)....

The only safe gun has an empty chamber. Hunt with an empty chamber and learn how to load a round silently and quickly once game is close. Then stalk in to the shot with safety on or 'Half open Bolt'...

Such a retarded mindset on the one hand saying you don't trust a safety and on the other hand having no problem getting about with a half closed bolt

Yes - bush hunting for me when in stalk mode, it is bolt closed on a round and safety on. Different for watching a slip etc. or if I was ever lucky enough to hunt above the bush line.

If your firearm has a half cock feel free to use it. But don't try and convince me this bolt half closed bullshit is a half cock. It is not. Your M70 is a cock on open action. It's fully cocked as...

Just to be clear, the use of safety or half cock is about ensuring you don't have an accidental discharge. All the other rules apply all of the time even when no ammunition is present in the rifle....

I use both (Howa 1500). I haven't lost a round (yet) but have had the bolt knocked upwards out of half cock position. I would rather have a bolt lock integrated in the safety for half cock,...

He's clear as day to me. Why didn't the media go to the President of a recognised, long standing, lobby group for game animals instead of some one like Sam???
