I always carry my rifle unloaded with the bolt removed and no ammo in the magazine.I also tape the muzzle and my rifle scope.One can never be too safe!!!
Its all right to be white!!

That "mid way" point of bolt closure is more like 7/8 way up and this is the first I have heard of carrying in that position. I have hunted Africa and didn`t see that but I don't plan to go again so I guess it is a moot point.
Good luck keeping that muzzle control when falling on your ass. There isn`t a damn person here who hasn't flagged someone by accident, even if unknowingly. I won't believe otherwise. Shame on us all for that. It is inexcusable but it is naive to think you always have total control of that muzzle, in any situation.
Between this and some other folk`s thoughts concerning gun handling and responsibility on other threads I can see why Deflave and Big Stick think so highly of Texans...

I never saw anyone walking around randomly with a bolt up procedure. It was only when on the final stalk with dangerous game. There were never any round in the chamber when the rifles were being carried slung or in the trucks (fully unloaded). Muzzle control is paramount so I don't get your comment about falling on your ass and what I observed. You can fall at any time even on a final stalk so muzzle control doesn't end with that either.

I had a hunting buddy that thought the bolt up position was safe, then one day after climbing to the top of the mountain I looked at his gun and somehow the bolt got pushed down! his gun was hot and off safe, he had no clue. I told him don't ever do that stupid schit again!!!
I am surprised nobody has suggested decocking on a live round.... an absolutely moronic move that some think is safe
As usual Flave is correct.... again

I think next time I’m in the final stages of a stalk I’ll spend two minutes precariously positioning the bolt in a neutral position instead of just going hot and using the GD safety.
I swear the stupidity on exhibit these days is flat fugking astounding.

That "mid way" point of bolt closure is more like 7/8 way up and this is the first I have heard of carrying in that position. I own 17+ Remington 700s and 721s... I lift my bolt about 1/2" (end of bolt knob) when I am in the field hunting with a hot chamber. My index finger is under the outer edge of the bolt knob often. Lug tension is excellent on all of my rifles... this has never been a problem. I honestly have no idea how a bolt lifted 7/8 of the way would not be a huge problem, but I am not judging... just don't understand. If I am on the move and am inclined to sling my rifle for a long walk... I either go cold chamber or close the bolt and put the safety on. If I am going into a tree stand it is cold EVERY TIME up and down... that would be the same in a nasty blow down that is a PITA to cross. I also typically hunt alone... I have found large groups of people arguing about stupid chit... does alert game. I swear some of you guys would argue about how to put on a sock.
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.

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. Every one of my bolt rifles, the bolt would fall open and chambered cartridge would hit the ground. It is just so much easier to close the bolt on an empty chamber. But, of course, it is not then obvious to others that the rifle is safed.

FYI... I have a dozen or so triggers from 805... his stuff is great and has NEVER been a contributing factor to any Remington 700 oops.

It was a generalized comment to everyone on this thread---keeping muzzle control is not something I believe people can always control, and most especially when slipping and falling.

I always left my rifle at home. When I found game I’d go back & get it
Haven’t killed anybody yet, but that dang ironbender is prodding me

As usual Flave is correct.... again Learned about the error of decocking at a young age. I bumped the butt on a Wea MKV, the firing pin bounced up and discharged. Fortunately harmlessly into the air, as I was aware of muzzle control.

I had a PH in Africa recommend doing that....I refused. I was just after plains game but I didn't get killed by a buffalo (I think). Final destination stuff.

I misunderstood and thought it was directed at me since I list I am from Texas. I agree it is insanely dangerous to carry a live round bolt up when roaming around, slung, or any other scenario like that.
