You just cant load one of them queitly when an animal is sighted.

I found an AR was surprisingly easy to chamber quietly. Pull the charging handle all the way back. Gently push it forward. Push forward assist and you're away.

Would have been easier just having it on safe and flicking to fire when ready though.
