Not so much anymore. But in my younger years, I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees crawling through the buck brush. After a couple times when I looked down and found the brush had knocked the safety off on my Win 70. I made the habit of carrying cold, whether in my hands or in the saddle scabbard.
There is simply no way an unlocked bolt would have stayed closed in that environment.
Since I bought the Ruger #1, some twenty years ago. I pull ammo out of my pocket and load the rifle when game is sighted.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
