RE: Safeties....2 position or 3 position??
I like 3 pos. safety's because you can unload the gun with the safety still on.... Like in my Ruger M77 Mark II's. I believe they are the best safety's going, especially for young hunters.
That said, the conveinence of the 2 pos. tang safety like on my Browning A-Bolts is very convienent and quiet. They are great to hunt with as the safety is in a natural position under my thumb, but I do not feel they are as safe as 3 pos. guns.
God Bless
