I love Rem 700's. But I'm not gonna say there isn't an issue, obviously there is on some (very few obviously). Glad they finally decided to just take care of it.
I have two. Never had an issue. One I've used for 28yrs. Doesn't mean I won't get the trigger replaced if they come up with a reasonable process... but I ain't shipping my guns to them. I think it would be much easier to take it to a local smith, and have them contact Remington and get approval to do the job and get paid. Will be interesting to see how they plan to handle it.
