Well jwall I'm new to 7600's but allways break the action when I climb over a fence. When I sat down in the blind I eased it shut. Won't make that mistake again rest assured. Mb
Great safety practice to have really. Can’t fault a guy for that. But I suspect that was your issue. You’re new to them and if you stick with the gun, I think you’ll really like them. It’s my favorite style. I think experience is the issue here and you learned from it. Slam it home when you crack the action and you’ll be fine.
Good luck to ya.
