I've got 4 Rem 700s right now and have used them since I was 13 years old. My late father and brother have both always used the Rem 700. I have a cousin and his son that also use them. None of us have ever had an issue with them. I'm not saying the issue doesn't exist but none of us have had an accidental discharge.
I doubt if I'll bother sending mine in. They work just fine and I see no benefit to changing what works. Besides, you can't accidentally shoot someone if you don't point the muzzle at them in the first place. First rule of firearm safety is to never point the firearm at something you don't want to shoot.
