the main reason i love a bolt action for hunting is:
i dont even chamber a round until i need it. i push the round down into the magazine and close the bolt over the round. if i see something that needs shooting at, i simply crank the bolt back, let it grab the round and push it forward. no exceptions. in my teens, my brother almost blew my head off with his 7mm. 700 BDL. finger wasnt even near the trigger.
if the shot op goes away, i go thru the entire exercise again. pull back the bolt, push the round down...i'm not jump shooting anything.
anyone i bring hunting with me abides by this. some forest ranger guy did the exact same thing on a pig hunt. i think the strap of his pack pulled the trigger. he went white. i bet i could have bought his rifle right then and there for five bucks. he didnt listen to me.
