I have hunted with a Robust but the Ideal safety seems impossible to use so I don't hunt with them.
That’s a shame. You don’t hunt hammer guns either? Safeties are overrated. Ideals can be carried just like a hammer gun. Cock it as you’re walking in, decock it whenever you want.
Same for the Darne. In fact, in Darne manuals (see compilation in second forum in one of the English translation, green printing), it is recommended that the cocking lever be left in an upright position, chambers loaded, for safety purposes while carrying loaded gun across fence or ditch. Gil
