   Goodness me, this one again... I'll say what I said last time. After many years of what I called "half cock" which I accept could very well be "half open", I now operate with bolt fully closed...

   Got to page 3 of this thread wondering why no one else had mentioned this then saw this post. All 4 tikka's I own do this. Walking around with the bolt half closed is an accident waiting to happen. ...

   Might not be the best but my method (when bush hunting) is: Nothing in the spout while just moving through areas. If I come across great sign or an area that I think potentially may hold animals...

   That is actually how I like to run things, in the olden days when I did the MSC course, I was taught the half-open-bolt methodology, at that time, Lee Enfields were still fairly prolific but were in...

   This scenario is the reason for my aversion to the interchangeable usage of the term between true 'half-cock' and 'half-open-bolt'. On the Lee Enfield and most early 20th century military bolt...

   The way I see it there is no perfectly safe scenario once a round is in the chamber. In the old days using a mauser 98 actioned rifle I always used the 1/2 cock system, I liked it because at a glance...

   The ONE THING we all take away from discussion like this is a little more awareness of what we do and why.that just HAS to be a good thing as we more aware of it's possible failings. Stay safe out...

    Never heard of a fourteen year old having a half erection. Didn't think that sort of thing started until about sixty (I'm not sixty yet). So probably not a very good example to get his point across...

    “Load a firearm only when ready to fire”. To me, “ready to fire” is when I’m in position to take the shot. Bush hunting I like to have the bolt pushed forward enough to engage the round into...

    7mm tragic liked post by longshot On thread : Half cock or safety

    The main problem with these threads are that 'half cock' is a misnomer when used to describe 'half-open-bolt'. It's in the same mentality ballpark as calling a rifle with a pistol grip, a...

    Not wanting to start something semantic, but as others have stated 'There is No 'half cock' on cock on opening actions' There is a 'Half open bolt position' The two are completely different. I too...

    I have trouble believing a firearm with a closed action is safe. I usually use half cock. Providing Ive checked it out and it has a half cock notch. Greg Duley did a very good article in their...

    One big thing to watch for in push feed actions is the fact that upon chambering a round, you don’t fully engage the bolt, ie. straight to half cock after chambering, then try to extract a round, the...
