Other than being more conscientious about how I carried the rifle, I wouldn't tamper with the safety under any circumstances (too many legal issues, should an AD or ND occur). Instead, I would simply incorporate setting the safety to the "off/fire" position as a part of regular practice. That is how I train with my 1911 and any of my rifles. Whether or not the weapon is on safe, the draw movement includes taking it off safe as insurance. Regardless, any weapon should be treated as loaded and in the Fire position.
