The custom 98 I put together a few years ago wears a slightly reworked ( mildly reshaped and checkered) military safety because of the old Finn Aagaard article about his 458. I set it up to be used with aperture sights and liked the idea of the safety flag blocking the aperture when on safe. Not that I’m likely to be hunting dangerous game with it but I liked the article and the concept.
Yep, I always found it interesting why Finn liked that safety on his .458. Of course, to block the sights the safety had to be in the middle position, which left the bolt unlocked--but it also allowed a sort, quick flip to take it off safe.
