I was given a nice Browning 30-06, bolt action.

Was sighting it in on the range, and somewhere amongst 20 rounds, with finger off of the trigger, released the safety and BOOM!

Not sure how that happened, but....to the smithy it goes, for analysis.

I can’t imagine demonstrating my confidence in the integrity of a “safety”.

I am pretty sure that this problem has been documented. TV shows, the internets,
etc. It is not a common problem, but it is not rare either...and it has killed folks.
Check it out with a Bing search. Good luck and God Bless!
