[QUOTE="VTbluegrass, post: 2180321, member: 104786"] I've never had the bolt open fully but it has been open enough to come out of battery once or twice but it was when I had the rifle fully over my should and neck carrying crossbody on my back crawling through laurel bushes and once in green briar. In both instances I the shot had been made and I was recovering a deer. Now my 700 has not been lapped or smoothed out in any way, unless you count being cycled thousands of times over 40 years. Krylon and a Timney are the only mods. There does seem to be a enough resistance to stay closed and in general if I am in a situation where its coming to a shot its generally being carried in hand and not on the sling. [/QUOTE]
