Re: CNBC Hatchet Job on Remington 700
One of our guns went off after a barricade when the operator lifted the bolt to unload the gun. Sent back to remington, they checked it out and returned it with about a 5lb trigger. The others were during various schools and training. I was told about the problem when I went thru my first sniper school in 95. The agency teaching it told us that standard policy for them to pull the cross hairs off target just prior to swithcing from safe to fire.
I can't testify to all the conditions of all the guns I've seen go off, but all were operational guns, used daily.
Are guns abused, yes. Triggers messed with, yes. Are guns neglected, yes. I'm just reporting what I saw and have been taught over the years.

In 1977 I had a 700 discharge when I flipped the safety off. Since then I never use a safety on any rifle. I just don't load the chamber till I'm ready to fire.
