    It was fine for grand dad on a dodgy .303 with a crap safety, but its asking for trouble on modern designs other than a mauser action.
    I had someone try to insist I used this method when I was starting out on my old Savage 110.
    Well guess what, on the supposed 'half bolt' the firing pin drops on the Savage and the gun will fire, complete with a bolt not locked in place properly.
    Safe way to hunt?
    No thanks.

    Each to their own, but I totally agree safety is number one
