[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1146049, member: 25383"] have not watched 60minutes in at least thirty years or more. What I said about their safety had nothing to do with their triggers, but the design is flawed in itself. Not just my opinion as it also was the designer's view point (Mike Walker even stated it more than once). For the longest time I thought it was just me, but Ferris Pindell also confirmed to me the design was unsafe when I had issues with my last Remington. Believe me Pindell knew as much about a Remington as any man out there. The gunsmith at my dealer took five or six brand new in the box rifles that had never been sold, and half of them had flawed safeties. They then sent all the new 700's back to Remington. To go a step further, I never told anybody about the rifle firing when I let the safety off. I thought I somehow bumped the trigger. The samething happened with the gunsmith, and two others. That rifle now has a 1978 trigger assembly that Ferris built. Not because of the safety issue but another even stranger issue. The trigger would often just freeze up during travel. I never worry about the safety any more as I simply know it's dangerous. gary [/QUOTE]
