Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Safety locking bolt down.

I'm pretty simple. But I can control a loaded rifle while hunting. I can even eject a live round out of the chamber with no fear or history of deployment with the safety off. Whether carrying round chambered or not chambered I'll keep the safety on. And I want it to lock the bolt. Have several times had thick brush pull a bolt open. Don't like that even with an empty chamber. So to summarize, even if you don't carry unloaded chamber do you really want the bolt opened unintentionally?? Course, many hunt thick woods that ain't really even thin so brush is no problem. Is for me. FWIW
