[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 1196320, member: 5168"] What your refering to is an old trick that was done with the older military bolt guns. The trigger was held back while the bolt was slowly rode forward. Since these old battle rifles had a knob or lever on the back that could be pulled back to arm the weapon. Not so today with the modern boltaction guns, and its not safe in the newer ones. In the older Mauser/Springfield type guns holding the trigger back while riding the bolt forward there was no cocking action by the bolt. [/QUOTE]
