The media has been beating this drum on 700s for years. Remington has refuted the story and their evidence is posted on the Remington website. The story is just another media hit piece. Yes, I am a happy owner of a Model 700.

I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and I have to tell you that CNBC just aired a show called Remington Under Fire. The show revealed that the Remington model 700 rifle has a long history of accidental discharges for two reasons: Depending on the year that the rifle was made, when you switch the safety off, the gun may fire and after a certain year, the "trigger connector" may cause an accidental discharge. Either way, it is important to protect your friends and family. As investigators, it is important to know in case someone is killed with one of the effected weapons because an innocent person may go to prison over a death they were not responsible for. Let your friends know of this possible hazard. Some of these weapons are used by SWAT snipers and military snipers. We all know the negative reprocussions that can result if someone is killed by a law enforcement official while on duty.
