When I was guiding deer and elk hunters we had a stead fast rule. Bolt handles up, always. Cant go off by accident and instantly able to put into action when needed.
SMARTEST ADVISE I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THE FIRE!
I had a 700 oops years ago (safety release and pew)... been up bolt ever since.
IT begs the question; Why not just get rid of that POS 700?
How do you keep the bolt closed with it up? Must send losts of time looking for dropped cartridges.Might work in a stand!
