The safety of the pre64 is rarely discussed I guess because we've never been bit. I hunt up in Remington country and my childhood buddy and I still hunt at his cabin near Cooperstown. His uncles worked in the Remington factory and built him a beautiful 1100 back in the early 70s. Locals come by and have a beer with us "City kids", and to my surprise they carry Tikkas. lol. Won't be caught dead with a 700. I love 700s btw. One year I had a Savage and they looked at me like I was from mars. The local LLama farm sell awesome socks, damn warm.
