I don't particularly like the safety on a M03, however they probably could be gotten used to. I probably would not want that safety on a dangerous game calibre.
I must retract the comment. Used a borrowed (from a fellow forum member) M03 on a hunt, and as a result I am sure the safety is fine and with practice would not be a problem. The only real issue is cocking the rifle carefully so no click is heard.

rigbymauser,
A question regarding your rifle on the photos. Nice looking rifle BTW.
Can the Mauser safety be operated easily when a scope is mounted?
From the photo it looks like it clears the scope, but just interested in how easily it can be operated. Thanks.
