BRNO 602 SAFETY ISSUE-- SUGGESTIONS???

I have a 416 Rigby with a BRNO 602 action and am not fond of the safety which functions perfectly but goes to SAFE when pushed FORWARD. To FIRE you move the lever TOWARDS the rear of the rifle.

It seems unnatural to move the safety rearward to fire.All my other rifles with such a lever got to FIRE when moved forward.If the gun is grabbed or handled hurredly I can see the lever going forward and the rifle becoming useless until the lever is moved to the FIRE position rearward again.In a DG hunt that could be disastrous and fatal.

Brownels has a Gentry bolt shroud and Win 70 safety system that may work.Conventional mauser safeties only work when the safety is rotated 180degrees to the left for the fire position.

Any suggestions on how to best modify the safety??
