[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1394369, member: 4191"] The Ruger 77 and single shots are the safeties that've been shoved over to the fire position while hunting more than the others, in my personal hunting experiences and those of others hunting with me. I'm talking unintended shifts in safety position by tree / alder branches, etc... The 3-position safety is the one that's never made it to the fire position while backpack hiking & hunting. Had a 3-position get to the middle position once, but never to the fire position. Safeties moving from safe to fire is much more apt to happen when the rifle is hung by shoulder strap on the side of a backpack, or off a shoulder. Don't ever recall it happening while carrying a rifle shotgun style in my arm. I've hunted by my lonesome many times in years gone by, and more apt to carry one in the chamber then. That's how those experiences were accrued. [/QUOTE]
