I was just wondering the way i carry mine surely must be one of the safest ways(apart from empty) so do other rifles not hold there postion like mine? I load a round in the chamber and just leave the bolt fully open, its not half cocked,and you can hold the rifle skyward and it stay in place. Because its not cocked at all pulling the trigger has no effect, normally have the safety on as extra safety as well so theres no way it can go off. Just seems to me that walking around with it loaded and safety on isnt ideal, when you are buggered and tired i would think (depending on your safety) it could be quite easy to knock the safety off then you be walking around with a loaded rifle. Of cause half cocked on lots of rifles means fully cocked as a pull of the trigger it just slams shut and goes off anyway. I think bush stalking you do need a round chambered, as the noise etc and time of loading a round will result in a lost deer, but jusy chambering a round and leaving the bolt open, or even half chambering a round as my rifle the bolt will quite happy stay in place and wont slide around. Do any rifles bolts slide all over the place? Or do people swing their rifle around etc??? Just wondering, have a field king 2000 >
