Muzzle control is obviously the most important factor here. However, why take on the added risk of having an accident. I do not own any Remington firearms, and honestly will steer clear of them due to this issue. In fact my wife was so concerned after the show, she went and checked her guns to make sure they weren't Remington's. It would be like buying or driving a car that is known to have random instant loss of steering and braking issues... How many here would take their chances in that situation?

I personally know of multiple people who either didn't know what they were doing or over adjusted the trigger in their Rem 700's and had them go off when they closed the bolt. Of course you'll never hear anyone admit that though. This. Just like the kid in this story. He was obviously doing some pretty dumb stuff to even be able to be in the situation that led up to him shooting his brother. But we are gonna pin it on the rifle. No doubt there is some sort of issue but if people would stop pointing their rifles at people when they have a hot weapon then people wouldn't get shot.
