Precisely Rick!
Regardless of how one chooses to close his gun (or in this case, a valuable borrowed gun) it is most important to close it gently - not forcefully as may often be the temptation in an exciting hunting situation.
But then, 'to each his own' in closing a fine gun. Watch this clip and note how David Trevallion closes Parker No. 168304 "The Czar's Parker."

I would be hesitant to tell David how to close a fine gun....
