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.
