[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 890376, member: 39801"] I guess. I wasn't trying to be an ***, but I re-read the entire thread and was hoping you could clarify your remarks. The way I read it, you feel that people are blindly supporting Remington and "going into a wolf's den". That the majority of responders are ignorant sheep who feel that its OK for your rifle to fire when the safety is switched off. Personally, I did not read the responses this way at all. For the most part, folks are saying Remington needs to solve their safety/trigger issues, their triggers are only good to be replaced, and that this reinforces the importance of not trusting a safety and always maintaining muzzle discipline. Pretty much to the last response, people are emphasizing the need to be as safe as possible in handling firearms - I don't see where anyone says you should accept a rifle firing when taken off safe or that it is your fault of it does so. When I then see "so let people be sheep, when there safe gun handling and luck runs out they are the ones that have to live with the outcome" put out there, I am interested to see if I am misunderstanding you, or if we have what I will politely term "a vastly different worldview and a major difference of opinion".
