I put a Rifle Basix after market trigger on my 700 when I bought it 2 years ago. I like it alot, but noticed something that kinda troubles me.

When I have the safety on, and hold the gun barrel up, or to the side, the trigger, which has lots of play in the safe position, falls back, and if i flick off the safety ,the hammer drops without pulling the trigger! Has anyone else noticed this? I believe my sear engagement is set enough, because I can not make this happen w/ the safety off, no matter how hard I slam the bolt forward. I also can not make this happen if the gun is facing in a direction where the trigger is falling forward w/ the safety on.

If anyone else who owns a 700 w/ the factory trigger ( or any trigger I guess) wants to try this, to see what happens Id appreciate it.

1st- PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE ROUND IN THE CHAMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2nd- cycle the bolt a few Xs w/ the safety off.

3rd- w/ the bolt closed, put the safety in the on(rear) position.there should be play in the trigger w/ the trigger falling back and forward when you point the muzzle to the ceiling and floor.

4th- tilt the rifle on its side, w/ the muzzle point slightly up, so the trigger falls back, in that position, flick off(forward) the safety and see if the hammer falls.

PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!!! DONT POINT THE RIFLE AT ANY LIVING PERSON OR THING, WHEN YOU DO THIS !!!!!!!!! AGAIN, MAKE SURE THERE IS NO AMMO IN, OR EVER NEAR THE GUN!!!!!!!!!


Thanks in advance!
