Remington 700 Defective

[ourway77]

I saw a 1 hour TV show that Remington has had trouble with thier 700 rifles, as well as others. The problem safetys are not doing thier job and there have been people who had been shot, and a couple killed with the 700 firing even after being on safe. Somebody is bringing suit against Remington for this problem some of the rifles have fired even with the safety on. There a real investigation going on now and they claim Remington has known about this potential danger for years and just disgarded the information until a father killed his son when a Remington 700 safety failed. They have numerous employee's who are testifing to the fact that Remington has been aware to this problem. If Remington would of had a recall it would have cost them $20 dollars a rifle to correct the problem. Now it will run in the neighborhood of $100 dollars. Has anyone seen this TV show well any way it might been in the best interest of anyone who owns a Remington 700 to atleast be aware of such a problem. FYI. Lou
