[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 568834, member: 19372"] I do a lot of walk around hunting. I carry all my bolt action rifles except my Model 700 in .17Remington slung with a round in the chamber and the safety on. the 700 is the only rifle I own that will allow the bolt to move when the safety is all the way on. All 4 of my Savages, both CZ's, the Springfield, the Ruger 77 Mk-II, and the Winchester lock the bolt when the safety is all the way on. The 700 doesn't. That is one of the reasons I only own one Remington. I like Savage, Winchester, CZ, and Ruger better for hunting. Both CZ527's have only two position safeties. On locks the bolt, off unlocks the bolt and permits it to fire. There is no middle position. I have no problem with that - they are two of my most hunted with rifles. My Old Model 70 .30-06 is the other much used rifle. Fitch [/QUOTE]
