Details

Unlike standard Model 70s, the Safari Express has dual recoil lugs. The forward lug, which measures 0.50x0.750x0.50 inches and begins approximately 4 inches forward of the receiver, is induction-brazed to the barrel. Its second lug, machined into the front of the receiver, measures 0.356x1.173x0.437 inches. The lugs are glass-bedded to the walnut stock, and the compound is likewise used in the tang area at the receiver’s rear and at the holes for the action screws.

To facilitate mounting an optic, the receiver is drilled and tapped, though hole spacing for the rear mount is specific to the Safari-caliber model. Depending upon individual preference, the Safari Express’ M.O.A. Trigger System might please or incense. It is of modular design and is not user-adjustable. That being said, the test rifle’s trigger exhibited virtually no creep, take-up or overtravel while breaking at 4 pounds, 4 ounces—about perfect for a dangerous-game rifle.
