[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1162821, member: 74902"] No safety is not safe in a hunting rifle. You are talking and ounce or less in weight. Your hunting buddies life is more important than that and probably yours too. Some of the best triggers are Jewell. You can adjust them down to a couple of ounces pull weight. I have one set very light on a long range rifle. It also has a safety. Jewells are safe triggers but can fire if you accidently hit the trigger just right when closing the bolt. I always apply the safety before I close the bold with a round in it just for this scenario. You also may find a situation when you are not actually ready to fire and a round is in the chamber. Maybe you have to move your rear bag or scope or something. That can get a little dangerous on a rifle with a hair trigger. The safety never comes off on my rifle until I am just about to pull the trigger. Releasing the safety is the absolute last thing I do before pulling the trigger. Also, a super light trigger is not that great on a rifle that will be carried for general hunting. [/QUOTE]
