When I was guiding deer and elk hunters we had a stead fast rule. Bolt handles up, always. Cant go off by accident and instantly able to put into action when needed. SMARTEST ADVISE I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THE FIRE! I had a 700 oops years ago (safety release and pew)... been up bolt ever since. His advice is bullschit.

If that "adult nephew" had his safety on and knew how to control his muzzle, his Uncle would still be alive. The nephew is a fuggin moron.

I do get a laugh out of all these deer hunters that walk around hot chamber with their thumb on the safety. LOL
Like they’re in Fallejuah or some schit.

I've had two accidental discharges in my lifetime. One was Remington's fault (I sold that rifle before firing it again) and one was my fault. Both times the rifles were pointed in a safe direction. But if crossing something with risky footing, I unload the chamber.
An Appy (apprentice professionsl hunter) I knew in Zimbabwe had his arm blown off at the elbow by a $20,000 .500 Nitro Express double rifle. It turns out that most such rifles will fire if you drop them on their butt with rounds in the chamber. I don't know about American shotguns.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

SMARTEST ADVISE I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THE FIRE! I had a 700 oops years ago (safety release and pew)... been up bolt ever since. Had one of those happen this year. A friend was putting the stock on an antelope buck. He was the shooter so grandson and I to the rear. Friend raised the rifle and took the safety off his 700 ADL and it discharged at his feet. Not being a great fan of the trigger on 700's, it could have been a dirt in the trigger mechanism as it had never been cleaned in 40 years. And for those questioning bolt up, I have never owned a gun that the bolt would close on its own. Having in excess of 50 clients, never had an incident.

Schiett. So the gun had no safety on. Was the nephew in their will or was he banging his aunty?

Y'all carry and hunt any way you want...
I am either cold chamber... or bolt up hot.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Was the safety on or off? I almost never use a safety on anything any more... I guess I would if I was in a duck blind with other people.
