[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1659841, member: 36999"] The only rifle Ive hunted with that does not have a bolt lock is my Nucleus which has a light short throw bolt and is prone to the bolt opening issue. While I mostly carried it in front of me the one time I slung it on my back as I climbed up into the bed of our ranger the bolt got hooked and would have ejected a round had I not unloaded it first. My dad carried his 700 for one day and flipped two shells out as the bolt got caught on his backpack once when he slung it and a second time when he was pushing through some thick scrub pines. He went back to his 7600 after that. [/QUOTE]
