Hi Wombat.

By general consensus, certainly in Africa, the CZ safety is hardly ideally designed. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that it works the "wrong way round". Your experience often manifests: even without "wearing heavy gloves".

However, I agree with Will regarding the M70 safety – for me, nothing beats the original Mauser "flag". But the M70 safety is probably the best you can do at a sensible price. It is a vast improvement on the original. There must be retrofits available in the U.S. or if not a good "genuine" gunsmith can solve your problem, albeit at a price. But, as I am currently living in Spain, the best I can suggest is to give Ed at AHR a call: he may well be able to help. With all due respect to Will, forget the longer bolt: there is absolutely nothing wrong with the original.

Other than the safety, it is a great action for the money - and the .416 Rigby is a great calibre. Just get that safefty fixed, and enjoy!

Martin
