I had the miss fortune of scaring some pigs not that long ago.....NOT from testing the safety but from the trigger adjust screw that had backed itself out without me noticing, I don't normally use safety but in this case I did, closed the bolt got in the firing position put safety to firing position...Boom Faarrk pigs in all directions, Reloaded and smacked one on the run...But fucked it up for Kevin who wasn't so good at running shots..... Stayed another day to get him his first pig....he got one bigger than the ones in the last mob..... But you have to be careful relying on safety and a good reason to stick to the main rule ALWAYS POINT THE RIFFLE IS A SAFE DIRECTION! This wasn't a problem (Apart from the fright) as it was in the right direction... And I make a point to keep it in a safe direction...loaded or not.
This was a case of the paint put on the adjust screw not being enough to stop it adjusting, The trigger adjust screw was flush with the outside so the paint didn't get in the threads, this time I backed the screw out painted the screw and screwed it back in....might be interesting if I need to adjust it again. Doubt it will move again
