[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1527347, member: 12995"] I've been saying that for years, but it appears that nobody has ever seen the admission from the husband later on that he had screwed with the trigger...They've only seen the first part that was all over 60 Minutes. I've had people argue with me for pages on end, that it was ALL the trigger, and that it could have been fixed for $0.05 each, and Mike Walker knew about it, and blah blah blah... That ****ed me off so bad when that article came out admitting the dad caused it, because of how they tried to destroy Mike Walker over their own stupidity and negligence, and all the sheep just went along with it. Basic friggin gun safety could have prevented that death... 1) Make sure the **** gun is unloaded when not in use. 2) If it is loaded, make sure it's pointed in a safe direction. 3) If you want to leave a round in the chamber of a 700, but don't want to leave the gun cocked, you can always de-cock the rifle by opening the bolt, holding the trigger down (while the bolt is open), and then slowly closing the bolt, while holding the trigger down. It drops the firing pin, but you still have a round in the chamber. If you've never done this, practice with an empty rifle first (gun safety first and foremost). Yep, I always do the bounce test and the bolt slam test. All mine pass, and break like crystal at around 2 to 2.5 lbs. :cool: [/QUOTE]
