So Remington has been making this platform in various calibers and tens of thousands of copies for decades, and how many people have been hurt?
Time to pick up some bargains.
I remember reading in the paper 15+ years ago. It’s a curious story because I’d never heard of this.
Some local guy was taking his rifle to the Gunsmith because it wouldn’t work.
He put it in the back seat of his car, barrel facing him and it went off blowing his guts out. He died.
I wonder if it was a Rem 700?
I personally have owned at least one Remington 700 since I was 16 years old,I am now 51. Myself,my family members,and my friends all own currently,or have owned a Remington 700.
I started hunting when I was 10 years old,and the first rifle I used was a 700. In that 41 year time span I have never,not once seen a remington 700 misfire as the CNBC story claimed. The CNBC story never asked the most important question-were the triggers on the guns modifiied? Adjusted by someone other than a qualified gunsmith?
Were the guns properly maintained?
They left out the FACT that not one of the things the 700 supposedly did could be duplicated by the attorneys,or their “experts”
Here is the true story,and the facts from Remington....

CNBC is an anti-gun network anyhow-in the past they,along with MSNBC have shown a Browning .50 caliber belt fed machine gun,and called it a “rifle” leading people who know nothing about guns,or gun laws to believe that anyone can just walk into a gun shop,and walk out with a machine gun.
Don’t believe everything you see or hear in the media.
