[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1330834, member: 6145"] I watched the show last night, all but the first 10 minutes. It is reasonable to buy a product and expect it to work as represented. I bet no where in the manual does it say, 'be careful when taking the safety off because it can fire'. The show showed the gun firing when 1) the safety was pushed to 'off' and 2)the bolt handle was 'touched', just touched. Not all 700 guns will do this. On the show they talked to the man who worked for remington and designed this trigger. he said that after 200 guns came off the line, in 1947, he realized that the firing pin could release when the safety was moved to off and he wrote memos to remington saying they needed to make adjustments to this trigger. The show had his memo to remington and about 6000 letters from 700 owners that said their gun went off when the safety was moved to 'off'. IMO this is not a bunch of people crying wolf, it seems well documented that the gun is not safe and remington should of corrected it, at least change the trigger system back in 1947 for the manufacturing process of all future guns.
