[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 866524, member: 25383"] The idea of a Remington 700 firing when the safety is released is not new, and has been around for a lot longer than most of us have been shooting. I had one that did it, and it went thru three different gunsmiths with the same results. The last one was Ferris Pindell, and he said that it just needed to be tossed. Something about the "J Lock" design. He gave me a 1978 trigger that he'd worked over, and never missed a beat. Mike Walker was probably the first guy to encounter this issue (he designed the Mod. 700), and he submitted a revised design. It was rejected! I've since seen two other factory stock 700's do this (both were right out of the box). With my 700 and this issue, the trigger pull was just slightly under three pounds (about 2.8lb.), and only had this issue about once in twenty rounds. I'd just replace the trigger with a Rifle Basix and be done with it. gary [/QUOTE]
