My "POS" Ruger 77 is the original type, with the tang safety. Have been using it for well over 20 years. Nothing I have ever shot with this gun has done anything other than come home with me. 2 moose, 4 caribou, 3 Russian Boar, 1 rather large Bear, and I don't know how many Deer.
Like I said, it's a POS, but I try to make due with what I have.
They have been in business long enough for me to think that most other folks are making due as well.
The OP is certainly allowed his own opinion, but.............................
