True and not ideal. I get all that, never happened on the range or in the 15+ years I owned it. Why did I have a feeling about it, not sure.

Hypothetical: I could have raised my gun up on a deer and gone off safe and replicated the situation I’d be in the same spot. But that’s not how it went, I was outside in a stand (open air not enclosed) gun pointed away and it wasn’t going to hurt anyone or anything if it went off.

Don’t compare to some joker ramming his action on a gun that wouldn’t function properly. I was in as close to an ideal situation to check it, period, end of story. And I thank my lucky stars that I am now more informed.
