I had a 700ml that would go of by its self when the safty was taken off. I was at the bench zeroing it in, so was kind of a good thing as the gun was pointed on the target. I hadn't even adjusted the trigger, same as it came from the factory. Took it back to the house and took the gun apart as well as the trigger. When taking the trigger out a small piece of metal fell out, it had something to do with sear ingaugement. Put a new Timley in it and also in my 700 270win. Just didn't trust the other trigger, because it had gone off when in extreme cold weather when the safty was taken off, this trigger had not been touched from the factory either. You can say what you want, I just don't trust them!!! Don't blame it on that the gun isn't cleaned,mine are cleaned thoughly after every hunt.
