Sooooo I have Remington 700 VTR. How do you know if your rifle needs to be sent in?

[Wacenturion]

Got rid of several 700 Classics because of the potential trigger problems.  Relaced them with new FN South Carolina built Winchester Model 70's.  Could not be happier.

That's the new Remington for you..now it's a recall on the 887 Nitros...

[NW-GSP]

Do you have to send it in or do they have certified smiths around in our state that do it on remingtons dime?.

[str8meat]

first off i am not sending any of mine in. remington needs to put out a form or have certified gunsmiths do it. send them in and disarm yourselves. mine work fine all four of them.

They should replace (which they are) or a offer a $75 voucher toward an aftermarket trigger of your choice.

Looks like a way for the government to add Model 700 owners to the registry.

[Alchase]

In the news story tonight a "spokesman" for Reminton said they they would send you a new trigger.
This has been an ongoing problem for twenty plus years!

I must confess..............

I will shoot and seek out the older 700 triggers. They are a more than acceptable alternative to the Gucci myreviewimakemoneywritingformagazinehowlermonkeyinternetyouhavetohavethistobecool....bull..poop.

I swear the world is coming to an end

And to think Remington is going to destroy 7 million trigger assy's

[Encore 280]

I don't know if it applies to my 700BDL that I bought back in the early 80's or not. I've never had an issue with it. My grandson used it for a one day hunt this year so I guess we'll have to keep a close eye on it next year or he can just use granpa's Encore 280!

I wonder if Remington will be able to walk this one off? I knew this has been an issue for awhile, didn't know it went back around 65 years  So back then they could have fixed it for about 5.5 cents a gun and didn't, but continued to run the same basic design seems crazy?  Now they are willing to change out triggers on almost 8 million guns. So if half of those people send guns in assuming Remington is going to pick up the shipping both ways of probably 20 bucks a trip and they have say 5 bucks in parts and 15 in labor that's 60 bucks a gun. So about 240 million bucks. Can't imagine the cost could be lower if they are sending triggers out and paying the tab for a gunsmith to install them? This could end that company.

My angle is there never was a problem...if there was it didn't go back that long

I have been shooting the 700 platform for....eeks  35? years.. Abusing, doing terrible things to it for,,,,Hell, 20?

Never, not once was the trigger suspect..

This is bull

Does this include the model 7?
