416WSM on Siamese Mauser & 416/348Ackley Improved on Martini

Feedback from my cousin is that he does not like the left hand side activation. He would prefer that it fuctioned the same as early Brno safeties. Where forward and right, orientated across the bolt is safe. Fully back and orientated in line with the bolt is Fire.
By only mirroring the lever I think this can be achieved, but I cannot include the bolt lock with the laser cut blanks I have. Back to the shed to make one up for trial #2.

I would not want full back to be the fire position if avoidable. It is more awkward for thumb to pull safety back when gun is mounted. Simply pushing safety forward is more natural than trying to catch, hold, and pull it back. If safety remains on left side, it definitely should be pushed forward to fire for right handed rifle, if possible.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
