Remington's 700 trigger mechanism has a design flaw that's caused dozens of deaths and hundreds of serious injuries. The company covered up the flaw and engaged in all sorts of shady business as opposed to issuing a massive recall. Remington's ammo on the other hand isn't bad and seems to be sold everywhere you can still buy bullets.
- manfredo 6y agoThe supposed defect of the Remington 700 trigger is not nearly clear cut as it's portrayed. The supposed failures often could not be replicated, and many were found to have had their triggers adjusted out of normal tolerances or otherwise modified. As far as I know, an unmodified Remington 700 trigger has not been demonstrated to fire without actuating the trigger. People often allege malfunction and sue gun manufacturers for accidental discharges resulting in death or injury, when in reality they mishandled a loaded gun and pulled the trigger.
