[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1392597, member: 12995"] I only have 2 rifles with 3-position safeties, and they're old Ruger M77 MKII rifles from the mid-90's. The rest are 2-position Rem 700's and a Browning A-Bolt II. I've had the bolt get caught on a limb or brush and pop open before while walking into the woods, but it was only once or twice ever, and was never a consistent issue. Normally, when walking to the stand, I de-cock my rifle, with a round in the chamber, that way if I need it, all I have to do is just pop up the handle and then right back down and the rifle is cocked, and there's already a round in the chamber.
