My buddy picked up my 97 Winchester and racked it. He didn't understand it did not have a disconnector. It was pointed in a safe direction but I did have a pretty big drywall patch to do.

There is no disconnector so if you have your finger on the trigger it goes off as soon as the bolt goes into battery. You can certainly get a lot of lead down range in a hurry tho. The guys in the Winchester demo teams were hitting targets faster than the guys using autoloaders. |
