I never could understand why in the world anybody would quit making tang safety like Ruger did or choose a rifle where you have to completely remove your grip in order to manipulate safety whereas with a tang safety (like old style Ruger or Browning A-bolt) the safety lies naturally directly under thumb.
You must have short thumbs then. I just checked my M77 MK-II and I do not have to completely remove my grip to take the safety off. Putting the safety back to safe does require a little more movement though.
