   I do the odd trip on the MTB, have to be a little bit careful riding with a heavy pack of gear & meat, saves a bit of time over walking in & out. 38426

   Brought a mtb of tardme for hunting forestry blocks, it works well and you do get closer to animals on roads etc but the best bit is the easier ride out with a pack full of meat!

   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...

   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...

   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...

   Less dramatic but a chap I hunted with ( many years ago) used to carry his 303 with one up the spout and the bolt closed in the fired position, he claimed it was safe (“see, you can pull the trigger...

    The main problem with these threads are that 'half cock' is a misnomer when used to describe 'half-open-bolt'. It's in the same mentality ballpark as calling a rifle with a pistol grip, a...
