    Just a question for all you shooting gurus and gun experts out there. As I am definetly not one! But isnt the safety just a mechinism (spring) ,please correct me if I am wrong. So with anything mechanical if you check it before you go hunting theres is a good chance it will work when you need it too but not a 100 % gurantee. I dont think I would be happy putting the safety of myself or others in a spring.

    Walking around with a chambered round closed bolt and safety on.....

    I walk with my rifle with a empty chamber, once in the hunting area I will chamber a round on a half cocked bolt.

    I am of the undersatnding that is the safest way ? Apart from the obvious of a unchambered round?
