Ive heard of that too...and i know there were a lot issues in the 70s, i dont think they are the same, but this was not my rifle so i can not vouch for it.. My father has a 700 made in the 80s and besides the ejector going bad a few years back that rifle has been nothing but good, and my friend has a BDL made around the late 90s with no issues either. The gun i saw go off was a friend of mines uncles, and he takes care of his stuff, way better then i do. The other two rifles was while i was hunting in out of some guide camps out west over a couple years, but like i said i cant vouch for those people, i have no idea what they were doing with there guns before they got there.
