I’m guessing you had the gun double when both were set? Makes sense. The rifle should be fun when I hunt deer with my wife’s family in western Maryland

My German gunsmith buddy said it is safer to carry a gun with the safety off and the trigger unset than with the safety on and the trigger set. The trigger should only be set when you are about to shoot, and if you don't shoot when intended, you should open the gun and release the trigger. BTW it is a very nice gun that I would be very proud to own. I know from personal experience, there are also deer in North Carolina.

Hey Mike - I hear you about NC and deer. I live in a small college town north of Charlotte, a few blocks off Main St and I have deer in my back yard a couple days each month. The attraction of MD for hunting is that my wife's grandfather was able to cobble together over 2500 acres of timberland in the mountains of western Maryland before he passed away. Some has since been sold to the state to keep the back of the bordering river from being developed, but her extended family still has about 2,000 acres of private land. That's heaven. That said, I also need to figure out some options here in NC. Take care. Chris

CJF,
Family land is always the best to hunt on. Two thousand acres of timberland is a sweet deal and not having to pay for hunting rights would make up for non-resident hunting license. When I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, I was able to hunt on post but I also was able to go in with a couple local friends and leased hunting rights on a small farm (about 200 acres) outside a small place called White Oak, toward the coast from Bragg. I only killed one deer but had a lot of fun. The point was, the cost was divided among the hunters, so wasn't too much for each one. Small timber farmers that don't live on the land are often happy to lease hunting rights for enough to pay the taxes.
Mike
