I know, the deer are not safe around my Remington 700. Shoots clover leaf holes at 100 yards.

Coolest part is it does it without even being around the gun. Just gets bored and fires off a round.

how hard is it to do something stupid with a firearm and shoot somebody? then clain you didn't touch the trigger, and blame the makers? what ever happened to the cardinal rule of gun handleing, always point your gun in a safe direction? what ever happened to the manufacturers warning, the safety is a mechanical device and prone to failure? firearms handleing is like the rest of things in life, ya can't fix stupid!RR

What ever happened to not leaving a gun loaded?

Adjusting the trigger wrong, will do that.

YOu know, I watched this special. I have no idea why CNBC would try to dig up very old news like this and destroy remington.

I have modified several triggers so far on the 700. Yes, you can make that sear engagement very light and I can make it go off by hitting it with a rubber mallet. You can also not clean the trigger over years of use and over oiling with gunk and make the trigger unsafe. I believe this.

The only gripe I have is remington charged money to retrofit the triggers several years ago.

when I adjust a trigger, I littlerly beat the living daylights out of it with a rubber mallet.
