I'm just now reading on this forum that there was a Remington 700 trigger recall on models made prior to 1990 due to discharge when the safety was moved to "fire"?? Holy cow! Today's the day I'm gonna shoot it for the first time. This 1968 model is reputed to have never been fired, altho there are very slight wear marks on the bolt that indicate otherwise.
Soooo - ok - I will be EXTRA CAREFUL. And check the SN with Rem to see if it was covered...
