[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2179487, member: 10755"] I have never had an issue keeping any of my bolts closed. I have many rifles that do not lock the bolt from opening when the safety is on. If your concerned, keep it open and close it when ready to fire. I have a buddy with a rifle that uses detachable magazines, 3 times now he has lost the fully loaded magazine. I would prefer the bolt opening to losing an expensive full magazine. My other buddy leant his rifle against a tree after shooting a deer across a gully. He didn’t mark the spot on his GPS like we normally do. Spent 4 hours that day searching for it, the whole day the following day and 3 weekends after that...never found it cuz he taped the whole thing with camo tape and unless you were standing right on top of it you would never see it. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
