Um... they completely changed the trigger mechanism out in the last decade. Not the same trigger any more.
“Um... they completely changed the trigger mechanism out in the last decade. Not the same trigger any more.”
The Marines at Quantico in 2012 sent a whole load of Remington 700’s in .300 back because of failure. Sometimes they would be taking the bolt out of battery and it would fire, sometimes they would be moving the bolt forward into battery and it would fire, and sometimes they would be acquiring a target and it would fire. These were .300’s but the problem is will all model 700’s or derivatives.
Remington has fritzed around with the trigger mechanism but have never fixed it. It would be too expensive they just pay out for the lawsuits. We have a friend who agains’t our advice just bought one in .308 and with a few days had a misfire. He immediately got rid of it. My fiancee’ will not hunt with anybody who is carrying one. They are too dangerous.
