I figured that if they thought that it was safe for the astronauts to drink, it was safe enough for me.


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

I have two old 99’s like that, a .22HP and a .303. I don’t really use the.22HP, just to play with. The .303 I occasionally hunt with. I have to say, that lever-catch set up is probably my least favorite type of safety.

It isn't the best system for sure, but its what I grew up with and didn't know any different. 2nd nature to me know.

Prefer the tang, but next best to me is the cross bolt as on a 760. Both are intuitive, fast and as noiseless as anything else. I expect that many of those who share my preferences are, like me, more interested in shotguns than rifles.

Having said that, due to nerve damage which has reduced the sensitivity in my trigger finger and "safety thumb", tangs are a no-go for me in cold weather, so I'm using shotguns with cross bolt safeties. For the most part it really doesn't matter on a rifle since there's usually plenty of time to think about getting the safety off. And if there's not, well, that's just that deer's lucky day.


The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.
