What about my response offended you? I will delete or edit as you request (can even PM me if you don’t want to discuss in front of your online friends), certainly don’t want your feelings hurt because of something I said.

Nothing, I’m not offended?What about my response offended you? I will delete or edit as you request (can even PM me if you don’t want to discuss in front of your online friends), certainly don’t want your feelings hurt because of something I said.
what about when upland or waterfowl hunting? Big game > In grizz country? > Turkey?Nothing in the chamber till I'm ready to shoot.
I had a Remington 600 .243 that would discharge sometimes when the safety was flipped off and all 600’s where recalled !Important life lessons never are understated. Safety is something enhanced by redundancy ... over and over and over again. But then this is from a retired helicopter maintenance test pilot who was constantly at the ready for the next thing to go wrong ... that was absolutely certain ... and typically occurred during spells of complacency, flying fat, dumb, and happy.
After learning of Remington rifle safety problems, I had my Remington 700 BDL safety mechanism replaced so the bolt can open on SAFE. Until ready to fire, no round in chamber and safety ON. With no round in the chamber there have been times hiking through the brush, trees, or snow when it was discovered that something brushed the safety and moved it OFF.
Another inadvertent pull of the trigger by a finger or an object brushed against could easily cause an unexpected and undesired discharge.
If you are serious I would honestly find new hunting buddys. After a few thousand days in the field I have only ever seen one accidental discharge and that was a 12 year old letting the hammer down on a Winchester 30-30 model 94 after they shot and missed at a deer. Thank god the muzzle was pointed in a safe direction.as a guy who was had his truck shot a couple of times by nimrods riding in it, I like unloaded or loaded with bolt up or open , or hammer up
nothing is harder on the ears then having a deer rifle discharge inside a truck with window up , or trying to get home with a bell housing with a hole in it
wowI had a Remington 600 .243 that would discharge sometimes when the safety was flipped off and all 600’s where recalled !
Most folks that carry a handgun do so in a holster. Factory trigger pulls are what 7-8lbs on a hand gun versus, what 2.5-4 on a lot of bolt guns.That’s what most people seem to say, but why? It’s way more dangerous than carrying a long gun with one in the chamber IMO.
I’ll buy you a beer in Moscow when you come up for a visitI was having 2nd thoughts about allowing my daughter to go to college at Washington State..
I have a friend who walks with his O/U broken open with two in the chute. I haven't hunted with him in years, but he always bagged more birds than me and my chambered Rem 870.Legit question. How do I explain to my kid that it is okay to chukar/pheasant hunt with one in the chamber, but not big game hunt with one in the chamber. I'm more scared of a shotgun accident than a rifle accident.
Name the place. I'll come unarmed and buy the first round.I’ll buy you a beer in Moscow when you come up for a visit
The same reason you put on a seat belt when you get in the car, and not as you're about to wreckThat’s what most people seem to say, but why? It’s way more dangerous than carrying a long gun with one in the chamber IMO.
Not at all from me. Do as you wish. More surprised by some folks answers than anything. Still have yet to hear a compelling reason to carry a rifle with one in the chamber.Wow, I smell a lot of contempt from some of you who don't carry chambered.
So it will shoot..Not at all from me. Do as you wish. More surprised by some folks answers than anything. Still have yet to hear a compelling reason to carry a rifle with one in the chamber.
