Remington 700 recall ever made

In a released statement, Remington insisted they were not recalling the rifle, but were going to replace the trigger for anyone who wants it replaced. Remington admits no fault in the settlement.

– These settlements are not recalls.

– These settlements are not any admission that the products are defective or unsafe.

– These settlements are an opportunity for any concerned consumers who have the Remington Model 700, Seven, Sportsman 78, 673, 710, 715, 770, 600, 660, XP-100, 721, 722 and 725 rifles with either a Walker trigger mechanism, or a trigger mechanism which utilizes a “trigger connector” to have Remington install a new trigger.

Whoopdefrickindo! Maybe that will shut the frickin lawyers and other whiners up...

I would be surprised if there is 20% responding to this.
 
Most of these were accidents blammed on the trigger anyways.....if not all. I have never had an issue with any of them, I have had quite a few come through my gun room of my own and of friend s and family. The only I ones that had an issue were by fault of ME over adjusting and screwing around experimentally with one that I was replacing with a timney or a rifle basix anyways.....

Why anyone would send their rifle out for the recall is beyond me. Chances are you'd be without your rifle for weeks if not months. If a 700 shooter actually observed a trigger problem, they could of simply purchased an after market trigger and installed it themselves. Short of that, they could have paid a competent smith to have the factory trigger tweaked or replaced, while he attended to such things as adjusting the LOP, and do a bedding job. I wouldn't be surprised if the recall replacements weren't set for about 8 pounds! That'll make the world a better place.

That's what millions of owners have done over the years to get a crisp, light, safe hunting trigger for a fraction of what an aftermarket replacement costs (which is no better) ... I must have done a thousand over 40 years...
 
I wonder what trigger they will be using on the model 600's? if its a better unit I'd be interested. I never liked the stamped housing on these units.
 
I'm in the works of buying a Rem 700 SPS varmint stainless in 22-250 and was told by our local gun dealer they sent their entire stock back to remington and had the update done on everything they had. Not saying it's true, or just a sales pitch to get me to buy one, but that was coming right from the mouth of the owner of the store.

This could be very true as I just purchased one from LeBaron that had the recall work completed on it. It had the punch mark on the bolt release, confirmed by Gravel that the "update" was done by them.
