[QUOTE="Jared2700, post: 1751846, member: 102752"] I had a friend with Remington 700 that had this problem. His was do to his kid smacking the bolt on some concrete while he was at the range cleaning his gun. It was bent in where the firing pin slides. Anyway he at the time didn't know what happened to the gun just that it wasn't working properly. So he brought the gun to me, and I found the problem of the bolt not moving freely just the one time of his closing the bolt destroyed his trigger. So I ended up getting a basic trigger set it up for him at 1.5lbs and he never had a problem with it ever since. Not to say this is what happened to you. But you might want to check out your bolt for anything that might cause it to be bound up. All it takes is the firing pin to be bound and goodbye trigger. Hopefully this will help you! I aslo had a older 700 that I adjusted the trigger on and didn't put anything on the adjustment screw to keep it from moving. Well over a couple of years of shooting it it rattled lose and the gun started to fire on bolt closing. Very dangerous... But I was lucky and was aiming in a safe direction. It made me think about how many times I've loaded a gun in my house to see if the round was loaded correctly, and I was aiming upwards toward my upstairs not knowing where every person was at. Could have been a huge problem. Thankfully God was watching over me and my family and friends. I always exercise safely when it comes to firearms and shooting. But let's face it, you can never be to careful. Just thought I share my experience with this, so maybe it could save someone a problem I had that I don't like to admit to. And believe me now I make sure to use a little nail polish or loctite on any thing that I adjust. God bless you and your family! [/QUOTE]
