4seventy

"In effect a gun fitted with a bolted safety really has two safety catches meaning that when both are engaged, both need to be disengaged before the rifle can be fired. That's one too many in my book."

I don't know about you 4seventy but when I am hunting Buu and am close in to the herd or following up a Wounded one, my safety is OFF -in the heat of the moment, your brain will not remember to take it off in an emergency - ie a direct charge from 10 feet.

I haven't seen any "automatic" bolted safety's -they really do need to be put to the "safe" position.
