They have bad discharge problems! My buddy took his off safety while getting ready to shoot a deer and BAM went off w/o touching the trigger.
My brother had the same thing happen. He bought a timney trigger.

I put a Timney trigger with safety on my Mod.700 a # of years ago.I have had the rifle since 1977 and its a reliable and tough action.I shot the first barrel out after 15 years and replaced the stock with a Carlson about '82 after finding out that wood is about as durable and stable as a noodle in rough terrain and weather.For those who adjusted their triggers to less than 3#'s they get what they deserved by not listening to Remington.How many of those same characters adjusted their car brakes to not work and then sued Ford,GM or whoever?I asked my G.smith what was a good way to adjust that trigger as I was getting some creep in it after many rounds and he said,replace it.It could be adjusted to be lighter than recommended and have less creep as it wore down the sear but he pointed out the fact that if you pulled the trigger while on safety it wouldn't fire but when you took it off of safety without pushing the trigger forward,it would fire without pulling the trigger.I tried adjusting it,just to see and sure enough it did fire. I have never pulled the trigger of any firearm to see if it would fire unless it was unloaded and pointed in a safe direction,too.They have bad discharge problems! My buddy took his off safety while getting ready to shoot a deer and BAM went off w/o touching the trigger.

8 years worth of production, ridiculous… I'll be buying a Timney trigger before I send mine back to Remington. I can only imagine what the turnaround time will be if you send it back to Remington...
Pretty much what im thinking

We installed the Timney but now the bolt release button is sticky at times so we are going to bed the action and increase the clearance around the trigger group.
I have a 700 from the '70s and have never had this problem.

I wonder if the modifications (Wyatt mag box, and action bedding) I have made to my 700 will affect the recall repairs?
Im going to give them a call monday am and see.
I would just pull it apart and send them just the barreled action. Should be all they really need since the issue has to do with just the trigger assembly.

The recall probably wouldn't be necessary if everyone just followed the instructions. :rolleyes:

the timmeny upgrade would be my choice , but mine already has one.
My .17 Fireball is a 700 Remington, and I adjusted it down to a lighter trigger pull. So far, no problems, but if I ever do, I'll just put a Timney in it. I'd never send a gun back to Remington. If you have expensive custom parts on them, they might replace them with stock parts, and not send the good parts back! I know a target shooter who had that very thing happen to a gun he sent in for repair...

Recently sent back 80+ guns back to them.. Wont send any of my personal guns back. Better to put Timneys in the last few, then wait however long for a repair..
Multiply that by the number of guns sent in--no thank you. Timney refit for me.... :tup:

In the time it would take to change the trigger one could just check the factory setup.....That said the Timney is a slight upgrade.
