[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 23138, member: 22"] Alex, I never meant to imply or say the Remington safety didn't work. But there's other designs that are far superior to what Remington calls a safety. The Vega was a car and got people to work and back, but I wouldn't call it a engineering marvel of it's time. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I guess that would be my point. I was in the Marines, but I wasn't a sniper per my MOS. But I have fired that weapon and many Remington before and after as a civilian. Calling a spade a spade the Remington safety is one of the lamest excuses for a safety you can get IMO. And I believe many would agree with me on that if they understand how it functions. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Remington man and I'm sitting here looking at 4 Remington's in the corner. And I rank a Remington and Savage from an accuracy point-of-view much higher than a Winchester. I agree with DanTec on that. To me the best safety that truely is a safety that blocks the hammer from going forward and functions very smootly and quietly with very little movement from your actual shooting position is the M1917 Enfield rolling safety. but we're getting off topic here so I'll put the brakes on. Keith, I've never heard any of the BR 'smiths say outright that, no, they wouldn't work on them. But then again they probably don't get many request either. The one that I mentioned above being used on that HG was smithed by the shooter himself. So all of the time he invested into blueprinting it was his own time which obviously didn't cost him anything. His LG class rifle has an Interarms MarkX solid bottom magnum length action on it. That gun is scary also. But again he invested his own time in doing the work. Steve [/QUOTE]
