Does anyone have an update on Dennis Tinkham's condition? He has been on my mind and in my prayers a lot lately. A finer man, I have never known. God please watch over Dennis Tinkham.
I hope everyone will remember that this is not the first time a shooter has been seriously injured when some type of rod was inadvertantly left in the bore.
We must never forget that these rifles we enjoy so much are not toys; they can hurt you, bad. Never let your gaurd down. ALWAYS, look through the bore to be sure it is clear before inserting the bolt in the action. Be especially cautious after checking bullet seating depth, establishing 'JAM' cleaning, etc.
This type of accident will never happen to you if you make a habit of ALWAYS checking the bore for obstructions before inserting the bolt. It only takes a moment; it could save your life !
Remember,, Murphy's law is alive and well. Never make exceptions to this cardinal rule of gun safety.
