RE: Safeties....2 position or 3 position??
BTW..that has to be the worst safety design I have seen but if it works for you. Furhtermore in order to disprove my point you bring up a photo of a gun made early in the previous century.
Secondly, it's an excelent safety, and why wouldn't it be? My thumb sits right on it, and all i have to do it slide it foreward and down at the same time...
A tang safety would have me use my thumb, slide it foreward and then move my thumb over to where it "already is" on "this" gun...
I have them both, i use them both, and i like them both...

I guess that I am spoiled... My Remington 700 has a magazine door so to unload I just push a button and out comes all the ammo. Then to empty the chamber I just cycle the bolt. Granted I do need to place the safety in the off position to do so but last time I checked the only time a gun goes bang is when your finger pulls the trigger. If your unloading the gun your finger should be no where near the trigger!
