[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2766836, member: 77249"] Remington 700 rifles for years had a slot cut on the bottom of the bolt handle area, A metal lever from the safety came up and locked the bolt when the rifles safety was engaged. They even ran a sort of recall, You could return the rifle to have the rifle converted to opening On Safety. When Remington quit making the 788 they started making the Model 78. It was a 700 action, trigger and barrel, Bead blasted and blued, With a Birch stock. That was about the time they made the Model 700 open with Safety ON, Too. I have a Model 78, It was affectionally know as Crowbar in my years as a wild life officer. 308 Win. with 1.5 X 4.5 scope. [/QUOTE]
