I used to have a 700 Sendero in 7mm Rem Mag. There was nothing wrong with the trigger and no way it would fire without being pulled.

Sorry, but this is a known issue for years with a number of dead people from a bad trigger. Go search for it and you ill find mechanical descriptions of exactly how the trigger fires without being pressed.
My brother has a left hand 7mm model 700. We took it to the range when he got it and it fired intermittently as the bolt was closed. Scared the you know what out of us the first time. We kept it pointed down range and cycled a few more rounds. Some cycled fine but a couple more fired upon closing the bolt. We went home and I tore it down and found out the trigger was set so low as to be a literal hair trigger. I adjusted it back to what seemed a safe setting. I wonder if they can “unadjusted” themselves. I’ll let him know, though, that he can get a free fix.
