mark williams 7,561 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 When you lads are sat patiently waiting for a shooting opportunity do you do so with your rifle cocked ready to fire, or do you silently cock your rifle when an opportunity shows ? I`ve always waited for the opportunity to show first and then silently cock the bolt action. atb Mark 1 Quote Link to post

Rez 4,961 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Same as you Mark. Never cocked until Im about to make the shot. Springer, I have one in the breech ready as thats the fiddlerly part. Rapid, only when Im gonna take a shot. HM same. 1 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 cocked for me as squirrels /bandits can hear a fly farting-so no point in giving them a chance Cos it takes you ages to 'clunk-clink-clunk' dunt it The amount of time you've had rapids. To be fair though, I have missed opps in the past. So you are right. Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,561 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Does having the action constantly cocked, place any type of pressure or wear ( I`m no gunsmith remember ) The reason I ask is that many a you tube hunting video has the hunter with both cocked and un cocked scenarios many times over. atb Mark Quote Link to post
