I just purchased a 16fxp3 in 270wsm....for a lot less than 640 bucks though. The Simmons scope would be better suited on a 22 and as such I have already removed it. The safety is 3 position and located on the tang. Mine has the accu-trigger and I can honestly say it is by far better than any factory trigger I have felt. I have yet to take mine to the range but the reported accuracy with Savage rifles ranges from good to unbelieveable.
