Same thing happened to me back around 1995 with my stepfather’s model 700 22-250. Switching the safety to the fire position fired the rifle. We were able to recreate it a couple more times. In this case as well as most other cases (according to my own research) the malfunction was due the gun not being properly cleaned. This also is what Remington has stated as being the problem along with tampering with the trigger. The gun had not been dismantled and cleaned since it was bought in the 70’s. The gun received a thorough cleaning and has not had a problem since.
