I am a Yooper. I split my time between the two. We take deer hunting serious up here. I got a timney coming for my 700. Curious of it will be any quieter. Not sure why some are against quiet safeties. I realize hunting at long ranges it doesn't matter. I still like to be quiete though, its hunting.
I have experienced the extremely serious nature of Youper hunting. "Serious" generally involves a pile of rutabagas or turnips that a show dog couldn't jump over. *grins*
Do this with your 700 - apply a little downward pressure with your thumb as you're moving the safety all the way forward - don't "flick" it.
