Safety-dodges (as Lt. James Forsyth called them) are nice, I guess, but do promote - sometimes, unwarranted ease or disrespect of where the muzzle is pointed. I've hunted for years with guns without safeties, safely, as I don't carry a loaded chamber. I don't trust safeties and have had the gun fire when turning off safety. Of course, there was no danger, but this (twice) did nothing to instill faith in safety - dodges. Guns I hunt with with safeties, I also carry with an empty chamber. Final stalk is done with a chambered round but with the bolt up. Works for me. I almost put a Gentry safety on my MK10 Mauser .375/06IMp, but resisted the impulse. I think it's the one I would use, if the impulse catches - again. |
