has anyone ever jumped an animal they are hunting and had them stand there waiting for a shot? I have, and if my gun were empty I would sure feel foolish, rather than be getting the knife out to gut him
Unless you walk around with the rifle already shouldered like a swat ninja clearing a building, you have to mount the rifle before you can shoot. It takes zero extra time to work the bolt while you're mounting the rifle to your shoulder, just a little cooridination and practice. Are all of y'all really that clumsy that you can't run the freaking bolt while bringing the rifle to eye level? It's not that dang hard. If it is, you need to practice a little more with your rifle or take up golf.
