   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...

   Very good point. This caught me out when I changed from using a Mauser 98 to a Tikka T3x, it only happened once and now I Close the bolt completely before going back to a 1/2 open position....

   One interesting point on the Lee Enfield design, during both wars they started making simplified cocking pieces to get more rifles out the door. These didn't have the half-cock safety notch, finger...

   My chamber is always empty until i'm ready to shoot, the bolt in the gun with the firing pin "out" - so it can visibly be seen that the gun is not in a ready to fire state (Rem700)

   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...

   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...

    Used the Hikmicro Falcon 50 ($5000)and compared it to the same size Pulsar ($7500) couldn’t see any difference and Hikmicro runs off single 18650 battery. Can carry spares in your pocket or pouch...

    I recently got a little citadel .44 mag. Since I got it I haven't taken any of my other rifles out. Can have it slung over my shoulder all day if I'm working, hangs low so doesn't get caught on...

    3030 150 grain flat nose will easily do the business at 200 yards. Tube mags limit bullet style but the flexi tip designs improve ballistics a bit not that it's a real issue out to 250 or so yards....

    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...
