Normal. I have become accustomed to pressing down on the bolt handle with my index finger before hitting the safety with my thumb.
Because we carry condition 3, it’s generally not a problem. That is, we are racking in and going on safe as we set up final firing position.

If your sons are using it, you may not want to subject them to the SVG trigger reach.
I'd buy, in this order:
-Vertical Grip
-Limbsaver Airtech
-Cheap drill-through cheek riser (so you can cant it for negative comb)
Of course, Dremel the stock out viciously to enable 1-2 dead cat clearance w/...
Despite a nostalgic fondness for my Wildcat, I really don't shoot swept grips well. I'm not unique in that regard. Most shooters, even those who tolerate swept grips, improve their performance with a more vertical grip w/ proper trigger reach.

Did you consider the CF Echelon Versa given the weight target?
If this Bastion ends up needing to be bedded, there might be scarce reason to choose it over the CFEV, assuming no glaring ergo errors on the latter.

They are very similar in reach, with the Bastion having a more substantial palm swell and a less slender wrist (which leads to a less vertical thumb angle). The RS trigger reach is 1.7" per specs. Some variation in my images due to lens angle and shoe position, but I'd say the Bastion is likely...
