A hammer is best. A BLR in 300 win mag, 338 win mag and 375 Taylor. The rifle isn't even cocked, until I cock it. It can be done silently. So I have light, medium and medium heavy. I also use a Montana 1999, with the Winny style.

The Ruger American Gen II has a 3 position tang safety.

I own several Blasers, and I prefer that and the decocker that is on the Merkel, Blaser, Krieghoff.
If I owned a Heym double rifle I'd trade it for a Krieghoff double rifle. Then eventually sell it and buy more Blaser stuff.

I’m in the process of converting all of my CZ’s to this as well with Matrix. Of course having him do additional services means I cannot afford them all at once!

I have a Browning A-bolt in 375. It has a tang safety that is pretty intuitive and easy to operate. My Mauser actioned rifles have Winchester style safety’s.

Tang safety is intuitive and fast. I like it quite a bit on my double.

I love the tang safety on my No.1s
Personally I love flag safeties versus tang

All of my 98's have the aftermarket FN
style safety on the left hand side so that I can push it down...off safe..with my thumb as I grip the stock....right hand ones seem awkward to me.

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. 
Need anything in trade?

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
