Thread: A word to the wise re safety!

Thanks Finnwolf.

You need to know your own rifle.
Half open bolt is for SMLE.
For Sako I use the safety:
Close bolt in safe direction.
Apply safety (pull back)
Check bolt is locked closed.
Point rifle in safe direction and pull the trigger real hard.
This is a “previously tested safety catch”
Carry with safety on till I get back onto a track or fire it.
Recheck after crawling through thick scrub as Ive had it flick off twice and the gun was live.
