Anyone that truly worried about making sure that there is a second cartridge in the chamber ready to fire in the most reliable and foolproof way possible is using a double rifle.
I find it amusing that people tout the controlled round feeding on a Model 70 and overlook the damnable three position safety as being less than user friendly in situations where minor mistakes can be catastrophic. I had an older gentleman tell me of his brother who, upon coming face to face with a grizzly bear, flipped the safety halfway ( the position where the action can be cycled, chambering and ejecting cartridges, but unable to fire), and controlled round cycled all of his .375 shells out on the ground before he figured out why he wasn't hearing a bang. The bear grew bored and departed, so it was a good ending for all.
