DesertBull Report post Posted November 1, 2005 That is why I never chamber a round till I am ready to shoot. Mechanical devices fail. A quick shot at a deer, no matter how big, is not worth losing a friend, family member, or a shooting a innocent stranger. I could live with shooting myself but not someone else.

azhuntsmen Report post Posted November 2, 2005 Thats what i do, nvr rack a load until i am in firing postion that way it is always heading down range, i figure if they can fire off several rounds at JFK within a few seconds i can also at a deer. Miss a deer or injure a person hmmm thats a no brainer in my book. But anywho the smith called and said that whomever worked on my rifle last messed with a trigger screw that they shouldnt have . Hmmm that only leaves one person and it wasnt me. i let a buddy "borrow" my rifle for his elk hunt and he took it upon himself to "adjust" the trigger for a lighter action, he droped to it 3lbs without informing me of course. What an A$$!! he said i was lucky the action didnt open up on me, i must of racked it with "lightning speed" it could have killed me. So all is well with the ol savage again but i am still little uneasy about firing it again, is that normal? Thanks, Huntsmen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az4life Report post Posted November 2, 2005 I would say apprehension is normal. Probably where they got the term "gun shy". Glad to hear you have your gun working again. I would probably take it to the range to get your confidence back and have a rangemaster by your side just to be sure for the first few rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
