Quote from Nitrox:
By "uncock" I suppose you mean that you slide the safety to "fire" at some point during the approach and well prior to mounting the rifle. I don't think this is being reckless as others might but jeez, do I think it adds the opportunity to screw up the "first" mount. And yes, for me the safety is only flicked of when the rifle is mounted, no matter how close the ele is.

Yes that was a typo ie the "uncock". I meant the safety taken off. Thinking about it again I probably take the safety off when about to shoulder a double or when getting into final position. It is instinctive so I after reading your post I had to think it over again and what I typed in the original post was not correct.
