"Don't tell me. A Remington 700, right?"

I thought the issue with the Remington was slam firing and this doesn't sound like a slam fire.

If you mean the weapon was prone to fire when the bolt was closed, I heard that.
I also read of cases where the thing went off if you bumped it (safety ON).

I have a couple, and even more so than my other weapons, I handle them both as if they were loaded, safety off, always.

It was an issue of rifles that were altered after they left the factory and disregarding basic firearm safety.
