My browning x-bolt has a button that lets me open it while on safety.

I think Browning X-Bolt has the best design on the bolt release button, and I like the ambidextrous flush mounted safety located in the middle in theory, no need to worry about the safety itself catching on brush or briars and being disengaged. I've not used one that I can think of though other than just fondling at the counter or camp.
