 ......my buddy and I bought the first two Rem. LSS M700's in 300 RUM that were sold at a major gunshop in our area.  As he chambered a round, applying all of the safety precautions necessary before headin' off down the hill on an elk hunt, his firearm discharged shooting the top out of a close by pine tree.

I looked up all the 'reviews' online after we got home from that hunt and was amazed at all of the AD's that were being reported.......and had been for years and years! 

This is certainly a subject that has been known for years and if an experienced, knowledgable/dedicated, shooter and or hunter of M700's hasn't either read about these issues or hasn't heard about them......they either don't want to believe it or live in a hole somewhere.

My 300 RUM has a Jewell trigger and it was installed before I ever fired it.

The current M700's triggers are now a different animal (as far as design....I can't and won't speak for it's integrity as I have no current experience with the newest M700's) , but for waaaaaay too many years, Remington was well aware of the 'faulty' triggers they produced and did nothing about it.  If you own older M700's, it is best that you adhere to every safe firearm handling practice possible.......in spades.

For the M700 trigger history.....Google is your friend.

Anyone now scared of their remington 700's, hit me up if you want to sell.    

[BOWHUNTER45]

That is crazy ...never trust a safety or assume every gun works properly ...

As far as the 700 remark  I own few Remington 700's ..Never ever had any safety problem what so ever .. is right !

I assume it's because they had a similar issue recently.

The OP started this thread as a 'heads-up' to members here as to the chances of an AD taking place with this firearm.  This AD, as was initially stated by '2labs', was obviously offered as just another note of caution for those less informed about the potential for the exact same AD's in the older M700's.  My comments were made in support of that post and was intended only as another 'heads-up' to our members.

It is obvious that you have decided to discount our first hand experiences and the hundreds of other M700 owners who have reported similar experiences/AD's.......for your own reasons.  Being a 'brand loyalist' is not uncommon and seems to be a popular and easy approach to take under such circumstances.  What would, no doubt, be more prudent and more convincing would be for you to offer some intelligent reason (or several or any) why the huge #'s of M700 owners of years past all evidently had a bone big enough to pick with Remington that would make us and them lie about the AD's we all witnessed first hand.  If I remember correctly, a few deaths were incurred, as well.

I never bashed Remington in my earlier post as I've owned more than my fair share in my earlier years, but as did the OP in this thread, I felt it worthwhile to mention that the video of the AD the OP showed us and which we all should be quite concerned with, still exists in thousands of older M700's being used today......and likely by many members here, who have no doubt passed them on down the line to other loved ones.  As is evident, not many here were aware of the numerous AD's experienced by the older M700's.  I don't see that informing others in an effort to make them potentially safer should somehow cause you to want to immediately discount hundreds of your fellow hunters experiences due to what can only be attributed to.......brand loyalty and not having experienced a M700 AD....yourself.

I don't figure that every Vega burst into a fireball after every rear-end collision either, but certainly hundreds did and resulted in numerous deaths and law suits.  You could probably find a few of them still around too......so, if you're a 'Chevy guy', brand loyalist, you might request of all those current owners that they contact you as well so that you can take them off of their hands.......and then pass them along to your loved one's, as well........

Probably because of the recalls and all the issues they've had with accidental discharges.
