I've been using 700's since 1977, I have several, and have bought and sold many more.  I have never had a problem, but in light of this info, I am having all the triggers replaced.  I don't chamber a round until I have a target spotted, something I started a few years ago.  The 700 is good for that type of plan since it's not CRF.  Open the bolt slightly, drop a round down the chamber, and close the bolt.  It is simple & fast.  Can't do that with a model 70. 
Nothing witty here.... move along.

Why can't you just leave the magazine loaded, with the chamber empty. Then when you're ready to shoot, open the bolt and chamber a round? I guess I don't understand what you're saying.

That's what I am saying.  I typically shoot a magnum of some sort, which only holds 3 down.  It just allows me to have one extra round in case I am blowing off antlers, or tree limbs.  If I were shooting a non mag caliber, I wouldn't worry about it and just do it like you mentioned.  One other thing, it is a lot quieter to do it as I mentioned than to rack a round out of the mag.

 :bash:  i was just pricing a new 700 today.  guess ill wait a bit longer or find another manufacturer i like as much.  i do currently have a 700 in .223 and ive never had a rpoblem with missfires, but i do think it has an issue with the firing pin,  every round i put through it looks like it has excessive pressure doesnt matter if its a hand load or factory ammo.

The gun I have for my daughter was bought in the early 80's and has had several thousand rounds through it, with zero incidents of firing when closing the bolt. My in laws other 700, a 7 mag, has had the same track record.

NONETHELESS.... I will have the Timney put in before spring and well before my daughter starts using the gun.....lil piece of mind.
