Evidently y'all missed the MSNBC special on how unsafe the 700 is. Worth watching but I have my doubts even though the original designer says he knew it was unsafe and told Remington what needed to be done before the 700 went into production. All I know for sure is I’ve done everything I can think of (without doing damage) to my 1973 700 BDL to make it go bang and the only thing that will make it go bang is pulling the trigger with the safety in the off position.
