    Just remember, putting in a half bolt slot, or disengaging the safety in any modern style bolt action means you can kiss goodbye to any warrantee or guarantee for the rifle.

    In fact teaching people to use a half bolt position in some designs, ie Savage 10/110 series of rifle is f**king dangerous, as the gun will still fire as the handle drops down.

    Its a New Zealand thing it seems. Old granddad did it on his Lee Enfield, so I'll do it on my modern Tikka/Remington.
