I watched a friend fire his rifle on a pronghorn hunt without realizing that his finger was on the trigger. He put out the bipod, lay prone, and as he closed the bolt, his finger slapped the trigger. It was a 700 Remington, and he blamed it on the trigger, until I told him what had happened. The rifle was pointed toward the pronghorn, so no harm done, the than the pronghorn deciding to leave the area.
