I hate those cross bolt safetys on the new lever guns. The only time I engage mine is when I am loading the rifle just in case my thumb slips off the hammer. Otherwise that red ring is showing. Its doubly bad for me being a lefty and I either have to use my right hand that is normally holding onto the forearm or reach across the receiver with my left index finger to push it off.
I just checked the site and they're pretty cheap at only $19. I think I'll get 2 blued and one stainless for my rifles when I get back north.
You may even want to try shooting it without the aperature installed. Just use it like a ghost ring. That's what my SBL has.
