Can't say I find this too surprising.

RE: Gee I am really shocked with this news
 
A few years ago, there was a boy that wanted his own hunting rifle and his family was not rich and they bought him a model 710 Remington.

He made about a dozen posts about how great his new rifle was and how he was excited about going hunting that year and all the game he was magically going to get with his new firearm.

I told him at that time how the model 710 was nothing but a cheap piece of crap and that he should just take it back and get his money back now before something happens.

They threw me off the forum.

He took it hunting and the very problem that was described in the recall was what happened to him. Only he wasn't fortunate enough to have gotten so lucky as to have his accident back in the middle of the woods when he was by himself.

Someone got shot and the last I heard, he is not hunting anymore.

Model 700 safeties don't exactly have a stellar safety record.

If people always keep their rifles pointed in a safe direction, it shouldn't matter. Finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

Never rely on a safety.
