    After 25 years of using a "half bolt" position that is the same conclusion I came to.

    Started using the safety on my Howa earlier this year. This change came about due to howa's not having a strong half-bolt position when compared to the Rugers (m77 MkII) and sakos (L and A series) I have owed in the past. A long action howa (270) would quietly bump closed (very dangerous) and my current 308 bumps open with a loud "click clack" - very annoying when sneaking around the in the Blueys!
    So I have made the decision to run my rifles either empty or on full cock with safety on. At the end of the day, that is how the manufacturers intended firearms to be used.
