RR - I agree the 700 is a fine rifle and there is nothing wrong with the trigger. But even as the Petzal link shows, in almost every instance I would be willing to bet an incompetent individual tinkered with the trigger adjustments which made the rifle malfunction or the rifle was not maintained as it should have been. But as is the case most of the time the media and society blames an inantimate object instead of human stupidity.
