Recently saw the TV show by CNBC "Remington Under Fire", originally aired on Oct 20, 2010. Has to do with; after pushing the Safety off to the Fire Position, then Wham/Bam that sucker may go off AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT the trigger being pulled. Dam, that could and has been a BAD DAY for some Remington 700 owners!

So, what should I do with mine? Has Remington acknowledged the problem?.....NO! Will Remington fix my rifle? If not, then, Is their a gunsmith I could take the rifle to have it retroed with a NEW/SAFE TRIGGER MECHANSIUM?

Has always thought I'd give my hunting guns to my Grandson, but not this one unless I can get it fixed.

My dad had a Rem. 700 and it went off when he was unloading it. It put a nice whole in the side of his truck. He wrote to Remington and they asked him to send in the rifle. He did and they made a repair to it and sent it back. That was in 1982. He was the butt of a lot of jokes from my brothers. He was supposed to be hunting "Buck" not "Truck". All you can do is ask Remington to fix it or find a good gunsmith.
