If I had a concern, I'd do some testing. Cock the rifle. Put the safety on. Pull on the trigger. Release the safety. If nothing happens, try it again a couple of times.
Bounce the butt on the floor but not brutally, of course. With the safety off and the rifle cocked, it should not go "click". This usually means a trigger pull of right at three pounds or maybe more.
FWIW, I rarely use the safety. Mostly, I have the bolt handle up if there's a round in the chamber and I'm sitting around waiting for Bambi.
