I have currently 2 Remington 700's..both have had trigger jobs (professionally done)...and both I have had in excess of 20 years. The 270 probably has over 1000 rounds through it (since I bought it) and has been on several hunts, it's been dropped or hit hard during a fall (It happens) while loaded. It has a trigger weight of just over 2 pounds (hold your tongues peeps...I don't want your opinion on light triggers). And guess what? Never a false-fire experience. My 7mm is a custom shop rifle and has less rounds through it...I have owned it since it was new from the Rem Custom Shop and it also has a 2 pound trigger...while it has never been dropped and has less rounds (maybe 100?) through it, it also has never false-fired. Previous 700's I have owned I have also never had problems with. Take care of your weapons clean the as recommended and you are far less likely to have a problem. Oh yeah...I have several friends that shoot only 700 Remmy's and none of them have ever experienced this either.
