jeepkid...Safeties are backwards...??..Not necessarily so...

Perhaps on some models, but on my CZ 550 American, the safety rocks forward to fire, just like a Rem 700...

My buddy has a Cz 452 ( or is it a 453 ? ) in .17 HRM that has the European style safety that moves toward the rear to fire, so obviously it varies from model to model..

I'm assuming that my rifle is different due to the " American" designation..Never handled a LUX, which is the Euro version of the 550..
