Tikka T3 Safety

I recently bought a Tikka T3 Lite. It shoots well, and overall I am pleased with it. After I purchased it I noticed that the manual safety switch sticks out instead of sliding back and forth flush with the gun.

It seems to work fine. Is that how it's supposed to be? I have looked at other pictures of other models and it looks similar.
 
Can you post a picture of what you mean? My safety is certainly not flush with the rest of the gun, and almost seems to 'rotate' more than 'slide'. A picture is worth a thousand words (safety on):

 
It's exactly like what you posted above.

If that's how it's supposed to be, I'm good with it. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something wrong with it.
 
I have had my T3 lite for over a year and never noticed what you said about the safety until now, I guess you could say that it kinda rocks instead of slides right?
 
That looks exactly what my Tikka T3 safety looks like. And it definitely seems to "rock" off and on instead of a sliding type motion w/ other rifles I own.

That was exactly why I asked. It seemed different than what I am used to. Different isn't bad...just wanted to know it was okay. I thought it had been damaged or something.
