Well, here's what happened to me. I was shooting my No 4 (T) at Bisley at 200 yds. It is a rifle in excellent condition, all original, from a very reputable dealer.
After a few shots, I got "click" and the striker was stuck at the half-way position. I pulled back the striker and pulled the trigger - again, I got "click" and the striker was stuck at the half-way position.
I opened the bolt and as I was doing it, the gun went off.
Can Peter or anyone else tell me what went wrong; and also, what is the safety drill for this eventuality - I don't want this to happen again. Note, it was not a hang fire.
