Al, what's your thoughts on the three position safetys that are available for the R700? I've done a couple of guns myself using the Gentry saftey and am satisfied with how they turned out but they do require a gunsmith for installation.
The Gentry setup is as good as it gets for a 3 position safety on a 700.
I did one for insurance on a 375 H&H Custom Shop rig headed to Alaska...worked slick.
Good shootin' -Al
