Most of the accidents from remington rifles came from home gunsmiths missing with the triggers, and not knowing what to do. Have never had a remington 700 go off by itself. I have a licenced gun Smith adjust my triggers yo 2- 2 1/2 lbs. Had a brand new remington 700 back in 25/06 come.from to refractory with a 9lbs trigger pull. I think that was dangerous.
