Because the safety was removed for the DST's Niedner made a cocking knob. As a matter of fact that's a new breech block Niedner made. A safety was never needed or used on a Schuetzen or target rifle but needed for a rifle taken into the field.

Zischang built a safety into the front of the trigger guard on his sporting rifles.
