I'm thinking "probabilities" here not facts but I would have to imagine that safety was designed and put on there because capping and decapping those bolt action style inlines are such a pain in the rear.

I am sure that it has happened to others and I am sure that it will happen in the future - but with your training it will probably only happen once.

The only time I time I really use the secondary safety is when traversing something difficult or raking the bolt apart. I really do not use it in the normal hunting situation.

Honestly, I only use the secondary if I am using a tree stand which is almost never and when I haul it in my Rhino here on the farm and that's without the primer in the rifle. I do like the safety and keep it on especially when I am in camp or at the house but then again with no primer. I live alone and no kids around but I do like knowing that secondary safety is on when I come in from hunting. Under normal hunting conditions I don't use it.

My question for that is, WHY have it on without a primer? You don't use it "under normal hunting conditions" when it is MEANT to be used (in other words while there is a primer in it) but you DO use it when there isn't a primer in it? That makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.
