Ok, I get the controlled round feed argument. Problem is, I hate the safety on them. They are almost always loud and gritty feeling. Im sure they smooth out over time, but they sure start off gritty and noisy. Just kinda a turn off to me I guess. Anyone else like the idea of controlled round feed, but dislike the safety on them? Thanks

No. I much prefer a three position safety...
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

What gun are you explicitly talking about? I have multiple takes on controlled round fed bolt guns and the safeties range from wing safeties (Buehler type), Winchester type 3 position safety, and trigger based safeties.

Lots of the Mauser action rifles have the two position thumb safetys, or you can go with an older Ruger tang safety model.

I like the three position option as well. However, most seem to be gritty and not smooth like a Remington or Sako safety. Just clunky feeling

I never liked the three position safeies either. Like a Ruger or Browning tang safety best. Safety on a Rem model 7 or 700 are also ok. Just never warmed up to Winchester safety, and other than liability never understood why Ruger went to them.

I feel the same way. I like the claw controlling the round into the chamber better than a push feed. However I the safety is always smoother on the push feed rifles. Kinda hard to have the best of both worlds....lol

sorry you find this thread so stupid, maybe now you can just politely move along to another thread that makes more sense to you. I looked but didn't see a thread about coloring books and crayons, so you may be out of luck!

I don't like the Ruger wing safeties but I really like the Winchester wing safeties.

Due to having short stubby fingers and thumbs, I prefer tang safeties over any others, but will not own a gun with a model 70 type wing safety

I prefer firing pin safeties over trigger safeties, regardless of the style.

I've taken a model 70 to the fire position on more Deer than I could ever remember. Some really close and some out at distance. Some I eased off with two fingers and others just pushed them quick to fire. Have yet to have a Deer spooked by the noise and here in the Pa wood it is not all that rare to have them close.
Make more noise walking thru dry leaves and crunchy snow than the safety going off. Somehow I manage to cross paths with Deer that can be shot, along with getting a model 70 ready to shoot.

The safeties on Kimber rifles are excellent and smooth. The M70's I have are ok and at least control the firing pin like they should.
The Ruger 77 does not control the firing pin while live rounds are worked out of the action.

You are right and although I own a sako 85 that does not, many of the 85's have a problem ejecting a spent cartridge.

I use all kinds of safeties mentioned here and then some, and have yet to have an issue with any of them.
