[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 551992, member: 29890"] No, I suppose you don't have to believe the designer, but if you designed it and later realized that there was a better safer alternative, wouldn't you fix it, or settle some 2500+ lawsuits. And yes the military sets all the triggers on their sniper weapons systems between 32 and 36ozs, the pull weight is not the issue, my model 700 300wsm has went off only once, luckly pointed at the ground but all I was doing was closing the bolt with the safety on, right hand on bolt left on foreend it almost broke my thumb and that was an xmark trigger. One tubbs speed lock and one Jewell trigger later I have had it down to 12ozs and have yet to have a problem. As for the millitary and law enforcement contracts, remington was the lowest bidder considering maintainence was part of the contract. The millitary also never had any issues with the Bravo 51 aka Kate II but the 700 reciever and bolt were the only remington parts plus it was a short action. The M24s were long actions because when they were over hauled there were 3 chamberings available obviously the 308 was one but the 300wm and 338LM.were options so they were bases on long actions.
