Dan,
You have a fine way of reckoning! This is my first Winchester M70 and I did find the safety a bit of a challenge. I also noted it is very close to the rear end of the scope and glove use is another challenge.
Predicated on your sage advice, I will take the venerable M70 afield in a plastic garbage bag to shield any rain on opening day. If I see a BIG buck, the bag comes off, the gun gets wet and the deer gets tagged-in that order.
Be well, my friend.
Adam
