Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington three position safety

Is there anyone else that wishes Remington would make a three position safety on their 700's that locks the bolt when closed and can still unload the rifle with the safety in a safe position?

Nope

Still no.....

No...but I do like the old 2-position safety lever that locked the bolt closed. Just like a current Tikka T3 does.

You mean like this one, made by PTG?

Nope here also.

NULA makes a two position safety that locks the bolt but still allows it to be operated with the safety on. It looks like a standard Remington two position safety lever except it locks the bolt. But if you push it straight down, you can lift the bolt with the safety on.

I believe that was an aftermarket option for Remington triggers, it's still listed for $36 on their website, but you might give them a call to see if it still fits the latest triggers.

No here also.

When I hear people crow about the 3 position safety being one of the best features of a M70 I KNOW they've read too much Field & Stream.

Nope. No reason for it.

Nope

Hell no

YES

Nailed it.

It's easy to see who don't hunt horseback much. Most scabbards tend to open the bolt in rough country. The bolt lock tends to keep pine needles, snow, and chit outta the rifle. They gots their place....

I fugging hate horses.

I'd happily hunt a horse and I don't need no flipping 3 position safety to do it....

Yeah, but when you say "hunt a horse," most people don't understand what you mean.

I like the three position, BTW.

Scott. I've learned to respect your opinion Could you share the rationale for your preference of the 2 position safety?

Lotta these safety issues can be solved by not running around hot chambered alla the time. YMMV
