So, a few years ago I bought a standard RAR in .308 Winchester. The rotary magazines I bought plus the free replacement one from Ruger won't reliably feed, so I ended up replacing the magwell with one that takes AI mags. I have found a couple of loads it likes, but the one thing I hate about it is the location of the safety. I wrap my thumb over the top of the tang to get a good, solid grip (grew up hunting with a Winchester 94), and due to the length of my trigger finger, the web of my thumb ends up tight against the back of the safety. No matter how tightly I pull the gun into my shoulder, when it goes off the web of my thumb gets whacked. I just replaced a Marbles tang peep sight on my Win 94 with a receiver mounted Williams peep for the same reason. It was right where my thumb needed to be.
Is there an aftermarket safety that is not tang mounted? Maybe as part of an aftermarket trigger assembly? I looked at Timney's trigger for the RAR, but it ties in to the existing safety.
Thanks in advance.
