This is fairly old news, like well over a decade old.

First off, I have no idea why they are digging this up. Second, I don't like the updated trigger, third, yes, you can get the remington trigger to go off if the sear screw is not set right. I setup remington triggers all the time. Standard operation 20 years ago was to set that trigger up to break like glass, with 2-3lbs of pull. Most have been modified. Remington tells folks never set them below 3lbs.

When I adjust a remington trigger, I beat that bolt with a rubber mallet dozens of times, and slam shut it several dozen times.

Only thing I can fault remington was over a decade ago they charged folks to change out thier trigger 25 or so dollars, and then sent you back a lawyer proof 8lb trigger. They should have did it for free.

What also cracks me up is they didn't interview the several hundred gunsmiths around the world that only uses a 700 action for custom guns. Or inform people that there are many aftermarket triggers.

They didn't even ask the marine armorer if the trigger has been modified. I mean these are easy standard questions.

Don't fall for the hype.

Lastly, I love the old trigger. I do not like having the bolt fly open with the safety on. You ever go hunting in rough terrain like newfoundland, it sucks walking thru the black spruce, and find your bolt popped open and rounds fell out and all kinds of crap flew in your action.

Bottom line is this. Don't point a gun at anyone unloaded or not. Its that freakin simple. Good article that is dead on.
