Have a Rifle Basix in one of my custom rifles, very nice and crisp trigger!

Breaking news in the US.....

BREAKING: Remington Agrees to Replace Triggers in ALL Model 700 Rifles - The Truth About Guns

This now is to cover ALL 700's made since 1962.
Need to wait and see what the info from Outdoor Brands will be on this now.

Media release from Remington.....
Remington Correction of CNBC Reporting

Looks like they are calling it a voluntary trigger replacement not a recall

The USA is a funny place. I got my 700 done the other month, happy for it to happen. This thought might be the whole USA "we sue you" mentality. Not an easy decision though, but how many people will actually do it if their rifle is say 10yrs old and keeps bowling over deer? Why bother on those?

I have put a couple of hundred through mine and no issues that i can see, i pull the trigger it goes bang. It is always pointing in the right direction and nothing in the breach to go bang until i know i am going to fire. I did like the idea of 40% off though but i was looking for a new rifle to get that on, any ideas about that?

Worth contacting them if anyone's rifle is in the affected range

My strongest advice is give the guys a call. Just off the phone to Chris, decent fella, and he pointed me in the right direction. Apparently this has been going on since April, news to me!
Based on a very sensible decision I will not be sending my rifle back That had nothing what so ever to do with the discussion I may or may not have had

Cheers to those guys.

You tube is great for information!

Nah mate give him a call and seriously go for a walk with the gun! We don't walk around NZ with the damn thing loaded just relying on the safety catch like the yanks do. Also lovely weather today. Hell try a test fire without a pill in it and see if it happens, if it does then get it sorted otherwise I wouldn't be worrying about it. Mind you all to their own really.
