257stew; What kind of a boltaction rifle do you have? When you load a shell in your boltaction's chamber, do you then hold the trigger while gently letting the bolt handle down, then hunt that way? If you do, you are putting the firing pin up against the primer. I don't know of any boltaction rifle in my safe that has a floating firing pin. Again, what kind of rifle do you have that we are talking about here? Try this: point the rifle in a safe direction and rap smartly on the back end of the firing pin with something that for sure contacts the end of the firing pin itself. Make sure your rifle is pointed in a safe direction, because I know on mine, it will fire.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.
