Have any of you guys put a 3 position safety on a Remington 700. If so what brand? And how do you like it? Thanks
 
If i may ask, why do you want to put a 3 position safety on? I like the 2 position that remington comes with.

For the most part I do as well. When I hunt with my pack or in really thick brush I have had the bolt get pushed up a little and can’t fire. The older Remingtons would lock the bolt but then you have to have it on fire to unload. If you use good gun safety that isn’t so bad, but I never like having a gun on fire when I have others near by.
 
My understanding is that the 2 position safeties only block the trigger from actuating so the sear is still engaged and is the only thing holding the firing pin from firing. A 3 position safety on the shroud takes up the spring tension and mechanically blocks the passage of the firing pin. It also allows the rifle to be unloaded whilst “on safe”
Hope I have those details correct

SRvet,
You are corrrect! The M70 style 3-position safety is very safe.
 
Years ago I had a custom rifle built on a LH Rem 700 action. It included a wing-type 3 position safety. Cannot recall who made it and the rifle is long gone.
 
Recknagel do a 3 position safety for a Rem 700
 
Definitely a safer safety
