“Remington sealed those screws for a reason.” Yep! Liability reasons! If a person follows the safety rules (isn’t a moron) there is no reason not to set the trigger to break where you want it to. Don’t climb trees with a round in the chamber, don’t point it at other people and point it at the berm, at the ground (mud) or a big tree when unloading and it will never be a problem. That’s the same rules that should be followed with any firearm. People make too big a deal about the 700 trigger. The trigger was never the problem. What was/is the problem is people trusting a mechanical device to replace their brain.
