[QUOTE="BlackKnight755, post: 551925, member: 25675"] I wasnt going to post anything until I read this... I for one respectfully disagree with your statement about EVERY model 700 since 1962 being a lemon. I have owned many 700's and still have several of them and I have had no problems out of ANY of them. I have had used ones, new ones and also custom built ones and I repeat I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF THEM! Now I am sure that like other posters have said there have been some rifles that have slipped through the cracks of the QC department and maybe some have had a problem that lead to an accidental discharge, but not EVERY 700 made since 1962 has had issues. Now would I take one of mine, load it, stand in front of the muzzle and let you bang away on the rifle with a mallet to try to get it to A/D... no, but with normal use and care do I think that the 700 is a safe weapon... yes. ... And who is the "they" that you speak of that is trying to have the 700's recalled for sear engagement issues? Is it the people that you saw on t.v. a couple of years back when a news team was bashing Remington? I'm not trying to bash you, but when you make a statement like you made you have got to figure that there will be someone that posts something that does not agree with what you posted. [/QUOTE]
