I would agree that I would never take a Weatherby or Remington to Africa as a DG rifle-just could trust 'em.

The new model Ruger and the Win 70 would be just fine after some work but I have a smith basically bed and tune the action of all my Winchesters and my few Ruger bolts. The three position safety is ok but can hang up on brush and swing either way.You gotta have an educated thumb to feel it and know where its at without looking!! I've also had the bolt suddenly opened by brush snagging the safety and the bolt!! Can't stand the standard trigger in the Rugers and replace all of them with Timney triggers.Win 70's are my favorite bolts.

I possess but don't like the safety function on the Brno 602 action cause its ass-backwards with the safety going to safe with forward motion.I will admit that one of my favorite mauser safety conversions is a short throw safety on/up and safety off/down lever on the LEFT side of the action. It is quite natural to use the thumb to depress the lever and remove the safety lightning fast.

What ever the action you prefer you need to make sure it functions at warp speed or leave it home. Your life isn't worth loosing over a rifle that DOESNT WORK when required!!!!
