By careful intent, the Remington 700 trigger on my single-shot custom Nesika .220 Howell does NOT have a safety on it.

The "safety" is the shooter, who doesn't chamber a round or close the bolt until the rifle is pointed at his selected target and he's about to shoot.

Howell's Law of Certainties � Whatever can not possibly go wrong will go wrong sooner or later. (Murphy was a Pollyanna.)

Let some uninvited know-it-all butt-in with unsolicited "advice" just then, and the bolt comes open. (Or upon any other interruption.)

"Good enough" isn't.

Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
