Downshift,
Between the cocking bolt and the rear bolt, there is a horizontal lever that's pointing to the left. Is that horizontal lever the safety? If so, how is it manipulated from safe to fire without hitting the ocular bell of the scope?


Not him, obviously, but yeah, that is the safety. On that rifle, the scope looks high enough for it to work. However, there are plenty of low scope safeties that can be put on pretty easily.

My other M96 has a low-scope safety like you are describing. I like it better than the 700 style one on this gun since it locks the bolt down when the safety is on.
