[QUOTE="Gatorgrizz27, post: 1025003, member: 64071"] I don't shoot Remington's, and I wouldn't carry a gun with a trigger that is known to be faulty. I also slam my rifle butts into the floor after adjusting triggers to ensure they will not release the sear. Could it still happen? Sure. But I would also argue that if it is possible to hit someone you aren't hunting with from a ricochet, your muzzle isn't pointed in a safe direction. Maybe it is something I learned from bird hunting, but if you're actually "hunting" together, as in either person may take the shot, you should be side by side with your muzzles facing away to opposite sides. If I trip and fall, the sear releases, and the bullet hits a vertical rock at the right angle so as to send a bullet directly back towards us, it is probably God's plan for one of us to go :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
