Quit using it as a machete or weed whacker. Ive hunted in thick chidt in western oregon and never had the safety lever tripped or snagged. You'd have to be carrying the rifle backwards, maybe by the barrel and using it as a battering ram for that to happen. Sounds like dip chidt operator error to me.
Well said BSA, of that style safety I prefer the Tikkas over anything else, besides a Model 70.
