re: Tikka (and other rifles) Safety Question

I was unsure how my older Tikka (m695) worked with the safety so I picked it up to see.
On the m695, if you bolt in a round in the safety position you can lift the bolt without placing it into fire. If you engage the safety into the fire position, and go back you cannot lift the bolt unless the safety is in the fire position. If you bolt in a round in the fire position you must place it back into fire before you can lift the bolt.
Overall, not a bad compromise, but I prefer the override available on guns like the Sako A7 and Browning X-Bolt.
