One answer for me .. I grew up on shotguns with a cross-trigger safety. When I get in a hurry, instead of releasing the safety on the AR, I fall back on old muscle memory which leads to dropping the f**king magazine on the ground instead. frown

Another answer .. the comb on a bolt action guides my eye to the crosshairs intuitively. Finding them with an AR is a much slower process.

However, that much heavier AR trigger is a plus with seriously numb fingers.
Which bolt gun has a cross bolt safety? Muscle memory only goes so far, sometimes you have to engage your brain.

The right scope mount will put the cross hairs right on target.

I prefer 3.5 lb triggers on both ARs and bolt guns.

Seriously, an AR can be set up to perfectly fit anyone if they give it a chance.
