I agree, if in doubt, find a trusted expert. My gunsmith watched 10 min of it, and he said he became so enraged, he turned it off.

The man has built probably 1000 rifles off the 700 action.

I bought a few remington triggers used and tore em apart. Got tired of paying a smith $45 to do a decent trigger job. I played with everything I could play with, and read everything I could get my hands on to adjusting. Its a great trigger.

And if I sell a gun I have adjusted, I would the buyer know, and probably setup the sear engagement to be up to 5lbs or more. Might even have some creep after I get done adjusting it back.

I can adjust one now that is dangerous. Same can be said of anything. Look at all the kids today, that leans out thier Air/fuel so much, they burn up thier cylinders. Or the home carpenter, that swears he knows electricity and puts in 5 junction boxes on the same circuit.

Here's a link to Remington's response.

I have to respect remington's response. They controlled the situation and didn't let CNBC control them.

Yep. I'm of the opinion that CNBC was just out to do a hatchet job on Remington. They heard of a few issues and with there being ton's of 700's out there, they probably thought it would be an easy target. I'm sure their non-hunter, non-shooter friends applauded their actions.

Old news,I have a 700 BDL 22.250 heavy barrel and had issues with it firing if the bolt was closed too hard,took it to my smithy and he took care of the problem,that was 15 or more years ago, and have had NO more issues since.
If you practice safe gun handling,theres nothing to freak out about even if you have an issue with this!! And if you do a good smithy can fix you right up!!

I just bought a new 700 SPS Buckmasters .270 Win with the X-Mark Pro adjustable trigger. It's set at 3-1/2 lbs. from the factory, is crisp and nice and doesn't need adjustment. I don't like hair triggers on hunting rifles.

I saw a special on MSNBC that the democrats are better than the republicans.

Yeah, I think they run that around the clock, 7 days a week. :s6:

Hmmmm Im starting to think these cable news channels have a hidden agenda:rolleyes:

Ah c'mon, no way! :wink:
