    Here are a couple of good video clips Robbie did on tikka half cocks.

    Thanks Outdoorlad, I was hoping for some visual like that.

    This video illustrates a mod where the bolt handle can be flicked lightly in just one direction and the rifle is then fully loaded. The Lee Enfield half open bolt requires some force to compress the firing spring then a second force at 90 degrees.

    It also looks as if it is cocked while in the "half bolt" position (not "half cocked") and I'm not reassured that pulling the trigger makes the bolt close and the primer is indented. Surely the safety catch that comes fitted on the rifle would be safer and quieter ?
