   “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...

   I disagree, I think that this totally crystalizes the point for those people who up until reading it believed that modern firearms safeties are 100% reliable etc because manufacturers fear litigation...

   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...

   There are two important things that are not generally taught regarding handling and safety. 1) when checking the chamber is 'clear' / empty, very few people know to use the little finger of the...

   Being a lefty using a rh rifle has an advantage for me in this situation. I carry the rifle with bolt closed on empty chamber. When a shot looks likely Ill load a round into chamber and hold bolt...

   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...

    Not really true with a BLR as the hammer is not lowered onto the firing pin but held 5mm or so above. If you drag the hammer back and let it go before it’s fully cocked/engaged it will fall back to...

    I think the 1/2 cock was a "thing" when every man and his dog used old milsurp 303's which cock I believe on closing. Your primary safety is your trigger finger and muzzle direction awareness...
