I can understand and relate to the fact that there are a lot of people like yourself that may have accidents because they're too stubborn to look at facts! You, Sir, are very similar to a lot of folks that have them and don't seem to understand when you're told that the problem can't be replicated. Do you understand the definition of replicate? Just because you or your GS couldn't get it to fire doesn't mean squat because the same thing has been tried on rifles that have misfired and then couldn't be made to do it again when people tried! This has nothing to do with accuracy and I've also stated before that the action is solid and many people build guns based on it. However, generally those rebuilds get rid of that Walker trigger and go with a better designed system that won't go boom when it's not supposed to! Don't you find it rather puzzling why the company finally got rid of the trigger after so many accidents and lawsuits if there was nothing wrong with it? Now the X Mark Pro replacement they went to has a total recall for sloppy quality control that allows those rifles to fire without touching the trigger! Great company, LOL!!! How anyone can question the fact that the inventor himself stated the intrinsic design is flawed and put that fact in writing in a memo to the top brass asking that he be allowed to correct it and wasn't allowed to boggles my mind. You also didn't answer my question as to whether you have ever heard of any other firearm with a history of misfiring like the Remingtons. I presume you didn't because you know darn well there has never been anything out in the history of firearms with a major safety problem like what we're discussing. You go ahead and keep your two "irons in the fire", LOL, and I'll stay with my Sakos and pre 64 Model 70s that I don't have to worry about like you better have in the back of your mind every time you take yours out and load them!!!
Well...If you will check your friends list on this site you'll see that I'm in your list and have been for years.
So...Before you remove me I'll give a friend some advice:
Your passion and emotions are blinding you on this issue. You just tainted everything you've post on this thread with a position that's not understanding or even willing to relate to anyone else. You need to do a gut-check on what and why this is so important to you as don't even own a M700. A position like you have will effect more than just one friend.
