Does their safety not work?

I remember using the Weatherby version of it years ago and finding the safety awkwardly positioned for my thumb, maybe partly because it was an unfamiliar rifle but I had to drop it right down off my shoulder to take the safety off - I had shouldered the rifle for a deer in front of me thinking I'd flick the safety off when I was ready to fire, but I couldn't reach it/find it with my hand in a shooting position.

I think they've revised the design since then though, hopefully they improved that.
