Correct, and WHY did they discontinue the locking bolt issue with the safety on ? To reduce the chances of the faulty safety design of going "off safe" in order to unlock the bolt and remove a round from the chamber. That is why ONLY on Remingtons can one open the bolt with the safety fully engaged. Except of course in the Model 70 where they have the THREE position safety which is what I prefer. There's a reason as to why there is an entire cottage industry built around 700s. Safeties, extractors, triggers, etc. I really like my 22-250 heavy barreled SS Varmint 700, but the safety might as well be window dressing. I don't trust it so I don't use it.
