[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1345036, member: 54178"] Ruger designed their American line of bolt guns so there is a dual cam action for ease of bolt cycling. BUT... this permits the bolt to easily (and inadvertently) lift and open when carrying it. I've lost a cartridge carrying RAP in a Kifaru Gun Bearer. I looked down and there was the bolt, entirely open, and, naturally, no cartridge in the chamber. (I carry a cartridge in the chamber only when solo hunting.) So, is there [B]any[/B] fix for this? Maybe a Remington style "safety" lever that engages a hole drilled in the bolt to lock it in place? I realize this is one more item to manipulate before being able to work the bolt to take a second shot but I think it is necessary. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
