I bought my 602 in Germany in 1970 to take on a boar hunt in Bulgaria. Didn't like the barrel length and had it shortened to 22". Didn't like the safety either, but decided to simply not use it while on stand. Two nice yearlings showed up, running left to right in front of me, threw the rifle up and (you guessed it) put the safety on again.

The 602 now has a Model 70 style safety. Why BRNO couldn't have copied the P-14 Enfield safety, which is one of the best of all time, is beyond me. Pull it back and it locks the cocking piece and the bolt, push it forward, and it releases both the cocking piece and the bolt. The main advantage of the Winchester style safety is that with the safety in the intermediate position you can operate the bolt with the cocking piece locked.
