I have always liked the Winchester type of 3 position safety. For me, it just seems like a more natural movement, swinging my thumb and flipping the wing all the way forward. A tang safetyis OK but not a favorite. I can say that I don't like the position of the safety on rifles like the Model 700. Seems like I'm always "feeling" for the safety on a Remingtonwhen I am ready to shoot.
