Im not a fan of auto safety either, but will say the ambi safety on the AT44 is right where I put my thumb when I shoulder, even before I set my trigger finger. I personally find the trigger to be pretty good, following some adjustment. Ive gotten 3 of my 6 Hatsans from Airgunproshop. 2 of those and 1 new from AD had to be returned to HatsanUSA. I had good experiences with Hatsan for each situation and beyond. In fact, when I returned the refubs, I received new rifles.
Both your choices fairly easy to work on, and Travis at WAR is IP in making aftermarket performance parts. The mag in the Mrod is more accepting of longer ammo, though AT44 accepts 31gr Bcuddas and I think I saw someone write about the JSB 33gr. Both good (can be excellent, just comes to personal preference.
