well ... not to nit-pick, but stating that you dislike 2 position safeties makes more sense than stating that you don't like non-bolt-locking safeties ... (grin)

Quite frankly, I've never had my bolt open accidentally - mainly because I relax the striker when it's closed on an empty chamber - which keeps it down pretty tight ...

but even if it did open, it wouldn't matter to me because there's nothing in the chamber to begin with.

That said, I prefer the 2 position, non-bolt-locking safety mechanisms because I just don't like the big shroud safety thing on my rifles ...

but when it all comes down to it, I so rarely use a mechanical safety that it really makes no difference to me at all ... in fact, I've been very tempted to just remove the safeties from my remingtons just so I never have a brain fart where I think I might need to use it (depend on it) ... and so I never end up going to fire the rifle only to realize that the safety is on. That would suck ...
