I have owned all my 700's starting in 1960's thru the 1990's, one Muzzle loader early 2004. Never had a problem and never will.
Not sending any rifle in either, If they wish, Remington can send me new triggers and a shipping box and I will return the removed triggers. But to send the whole rifle for such a simple job NO WAY.
Also like all fire arms I own they are never loaded till in the field ready to hunt. Or at the range in my back yard and never ever pointed any place except a safe direction.
