Just a discussion...
As I get close to my first trip to Africa, I watch buffalo hunting videos every day. I watched one yesterday where the hunter using a heavy recoiling cartridge had to go to work on adrenalin crazed, heart shot, charging buffalo and he handled the bolt rifle like an expert. And put 4 accurate shots in him very fast.

I have a 1950 model chambered in .30-06. The safety moves from ON to OFF very easily. However, when I move it back from OFF to ON, it requires noticeably more force.

It was loose enough to be cool, tight enough that no...
