I have 3 model 700 rifles.I was huntining in colorado in 1987 with the 30-06 I pushed the safety off BANG the instant I pushed it off.When I got back home I took it to a smith he disassembled the bolt cleaned it up put it back together.No problems since.I was hunting with the 243 win two years ago setting in stand same thing happened.I had heard about a recall so I emailed Remington with serial numbers they replyed " these are not on recall list " but they would repair them for a price.I replyed with a few choice words and told them to forget it.I took it to a smith instead.
