This has been an ongoing problem for twenty plus years!

I will shoot and seek out the older 700 triggers. They are a more than acceptable alternative to the Gucci myreviewimakemoneywritingformagazinehowlermonkeyinternetyouhavetohavethistobecool....bull..poop.
I swear the world is coming to an end
And to think Remington is going to destroy 7 million trigger assy's :bash:

I wonder if Remington will be able to walk this one off? I knew this has been an issue for awhile, didn't know it went back around 65 years :o So back then they could have fixed it for about 5.5 cents a gun and didn't, but continued to run the same basic design seems crazy? Now they are willing to change out triggers on almost 8 million guns. So if half of those people send guns in assuming Remington is going to pick up the shipping both ways of probably 20 bucks a trip and they have say 5 bucks in parts and 15 in labor that's 60 bucks a gun. So about 240 million bucks. Can't imagine the cost could be lower if they are sending triggers out and paying the tab for a gunsmith to install them? This could end that company.
cboom
My angle is there never was a problem...if there was it didn't go back that long
I have been shooting the 700 platform for....eeks 35? years.. Abusing, doing terrible things to it for,,,,Hell, 20?
Never, not once was the trigger suspect..
This is bull

Anyways good on them for replacing, as the cost would surely be cheaper than a lawsuit for a gun manufactured after the acknowledged problem/complaints.

"Dear Mr. Pianoman,
Thank you for contacting Remington! We are unable to send you a trigger because it is a restricted part. If you are referring to the erroneous information reported by CNBC, the settlement requires court approval before it can take effect, and that will likely not occur until sometime in 2015. The replacement of triggers under the proposed settlement will not be available unless and until there is formal court approval of the settlement. Should you choose to send your gun in at the present time, there would likely be a charge for the trigger as Remington believes these rifles are safe to use when in proper working order and handled in accordance with common sense, safe gun-handling practices.
Should you have additional questions, please feel free to contact our Consumer Services Department at 800-243-9700, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, EST, Monday through Friday.
Thank you and best regards,
Remington Customer Services"

My safe is full of Rem 700's and not one has ever had an issue.. My trusty .300 RUM is a 700 and its not going anywhere to get "fixed".. No way.

"Under the settlement, which still must be approved by a judge, Remington has agreed to retrofit the rifles in question at no cost to the owner. Many users had new trigger mechanisms installed on their own, and Remington will reimburse them as part of the settlement. For guns that cannot be retrofitted, the company plans to offer vouchers for Remington products.
The settlement covers more than a dozen models, specifically the Model 700, Seven, Sportsman 78, 673, 710, 715, 770, 600, 660, XP-100, 721, 722 and 725."

Interesting response from Remington on my request to have a trigger assembly shipped. They don't come up with the same numbers as the OP.
