What Remington has a 3 position safety?
Remingtons 2 position safety allows you to manipulate the action and clear the chamber.
Any of the three position safeties should allow this as well.
No idea what rifle requires you to put it on fire. Never seen that before.
3 position safeties are normally:
Safe-bolt locked
Safe-bolt unlocked
Fire
You don't have to put it all the way to fire to manipulate the bolt.
ETA: looks like model 700s built before 1982 had what the OP is describing.

I was looking at a friend of mines' X-Bolt this past weekend and i'm pretty sure it had to be safety off/fire in order to open the bolt. Damn japs.
