[huntmaster12]

for some reason im hearing about all kinds of safty problems associated with the remington model 700..specificly im reffering to the safty desighn..and trigger...they say that some model 700 rifles can accidently fire while still on safty from what i understand...remington has said that they are not going to have a recall..WHAT SHOULD A MAN DO??..im actually scared to hunt with my 700 now ..even though it is brand new..and i have never had any problems out of it..the huntmaster..

I would guess that using the rifle would have to be a personal decision. You hear stuff like that, but you always wonder, out of the thousands of these rifles made through the years. How many actually have this problem. I know lots of folks with Remingtons, but know of no one that actually has ever had a problem. One might spent a few bucks and have a reputable gunsmith look and test your rifle to see that all is working properly.
