Default DANGER - Remington 700 BDL can fire without pulling trigger

I saw a show on CNBC last night detailing the Remington 700 BDL problem. The trigger design was flawed ever since it was designed in the 1940s. Many, many accidental firings have occurred and Remington knew about the problem ever since the beginning. Remington didn't want to spend an extra 5.5 cents per gun to fix it. It was the Typical Corporate America Cover Up. Now they have sold millions of the popular 700 BDL rifle and it will cost them dearly to repair them. Do some research if you have one and have it repaired. CNBC showed videos of the gun misfiring when the safety was switched off or when the bolt was touched. This is a serious problem everyone should be aware of.
