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.
IT begs the question; Why not just get rid of that POS 700?
I've owned well over 100 Remington 700 series rifles and never had a trigger problem. Still have dozens of them, still haven't had a trigger problem. I must have been born under a lucky star, as I've never seen or personally know anyone who has had a 700 series trigger problem. The only trigger problem that I've ever had was on a used Krag that someone had done a trigger job on and filed the sear just a little too much.
Not so much anymore. But in my younger years, I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees crawling through the buck brush. After a couple times when I looked down and found the brush had knocked the safety off on my Win 70. I made the habit of carrying cold, whether in my hands or in the saddle scabbard.
There is simply no way an unlocked bolt would have stayed closed in that environment.
Since I bought the Ruger #1, some twenty years ago. I pull ammo out of my pocket and load the rifle when game is sighted.

must be some retarded deer for them to wait for a hunter to unzip the noisy velcro and retrieve that one round in the top orvis pocket and still graze while you rack it into the chamber

His advice is bullschit.
I'd have to agree.
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.
Spot on.
But everybody will coddle the nephew as they don't want him to spend the rest of his thinking he killed his Uncle.
Agree , it WAS his fault anyway you slice it or dice it .
I'm lucky to be alive after hunting with my younger brother quite a lot in my youth , he'd have a rifle pointed in a dangerous direction more often than not . One of the reasons I hunt alone 99% of the time .
Rest in peace Gary Hunt ..
Horrible way to die and he had just retired .

Geno does that schit upside down.
He’d gonna drag this out like the “left nut” threads.
He left a nut in the creek?
Just the left one.
Not sure about any nuts, but the left side rearview mirror is likely down in that creek.
It's not on the car anymore!

Somebody should tell them California fishies that certain chemicals in that mirror have been known to the State of California to cause cancer and other reproductive harm.

Bolt up? Doesn't the bolt then fall back by either gravity if walking around slung or by brush if you're carrying it level? You're then walking around with an open action and allowing all kinds of dirt and grime into the action and magazine, right?
I guess I am not understanding what is meant by "bolt up".
Yup. All bolt up means is you're losing that cartridge when the bolt slides open.

It can be done. RAPID fire Ruger#1 with Charlie Chong.
5 minute mark. Don’t blink, you’ll miss it. Luckily it has slow motion replay.
My carry piece was hot when I got in that crash. Should I be carrying on an empty chamber?

That's the way we grow them around here.
See deer, or elk. Dismount pony. Tie said horse to nearby tree. Pull rifle from saddle scabbard. Find dead rest. Load rifle. Place 12X scope on vitals. Press trigger. Empty rifle chamber. Place rifle back into scabbard. Untie horse. Mount horse. Spend next hour trying to find a path around the canyon between you and dead critter.
