Thanks jc5,
safety trends can be just as weird as fashions in women's clothes, sometimes. The original Mauser (and Mannlicher) wing safeties worked backwards for any right-hander wanting to disengage them quietly; the model-70-type safeties now used to replace them may work all right but the slab-sided bolt shrouds are a bad look, I reckon. CZ has messed up otherwise fine models by either having the safety work the opposite way to everyone else's or by being so clunky you'd never use them. The eventual Enfield safety was, however, a beauty IMO.

That swept-forward bolt handle looks strange but takes the knob up to the finger coming off the trigger, at least. It would also give increased grip against a sticky case.

Cheers
- Paul
