I have a 700 BDL that surprised me last year when I clicked the safety off to on load it and it fired in the blind! I am a former Marine and avid hunter. This is the first time I have ever had a weapon “misfire” on me. I know there are plenty of skeptics out there but I’m here to tell you that this weapon malfunctioned! Thank God I was in the blind and not back at camp where someone else could have been killed.

I have a Mod 700 I bought new in 1977. Last year it fired (3) consecutive times while chambering rounds. I paid 100 dollars to Mitch Schultz in Southport Ct.. He reworked the gun to allow the safety to be on while chambering rounds.

I have 2 Remington mdl 788s,in .22-250 and a.308 both have bad safteys. I installed Timneys in both of them and now there are no worries!

Is this different than what was going on 7-10 months ago? I had my 700 trigger “fixed” then. That took 3 months. I’m not doing it again–>I’ll go to a jewel trigger this time.

Never EVER had a problem with any of the dozens of Remington triggers I have or, have-ever owned.

I wish Ruger would do that with the early Model 77 ‘Safety’ problem… A long time ago they sent me some parts to fix mine. I had no ability to accomplish the task. It still sits there waiting for a competent gunsmith. Ruger needs to come forward on their dangerous ‘Safety’ issue.

Although I have two 700s and a Model 7 that are pre X-Mark Pro, I think I will pass on this. Never had a problem and think for the most part it’s a non-issue. My only thought is the fact that compared to a Jewell or Timney the stock trigger feels like the safety is left on.

In the unlikely event my (circa 1972) model 700 trigger ever malfunctions, I think I’ll just order a Jewell and install it myself – the one in my BAT came with excellent directions.
