Thread: Tikka t3 or browning x bolt?

People bag on the half bolt idea but a rifle in the half bolt position with the safety applied has two layers of security where as the bolt closed and safety on is only one. I know which I prefer.

This can be done on the Browning it just doesn't lock the bolt but the safety can be applied when in half bolt if you want then close the bolt and remove the safety.
If you want a half bolt it's the only way I will use one or just use the safety.
