Don't let the trigger drive you away from one of THE BEST production rifles ever made, in their heyday. If sales aren't a clue, ask the marines/military/police snipers worldwide since
Vietnam. One of, if not the most popular actions for custom rifles as well. Yes some have trigger issues. I have a 1978 40x with a trigger that is unreal, and a 1984-85 model 7 that needed 2 fingers out of the box, and have shot a Mtn rifle with an incredible trigger as good as any timney out of the box. IMO they are worth sinking some $ into them IF NEEDED. To recall ALL of them sounds logistically impossible & many/most would not comply like me. Like I'm gonna send them a rifle with a trigger I now love, for them to bring to TODAYS Lawyer proof spec that basically sux.

Re: Possible recall on every Rem 700 ever made
For however many millions of mdl 700's that were made, any idea of the % of ones that fired when the bolt was closed, IF IN FACT, their fingers were not on the trigger at the time/and the safety off? Yes I've seen it happen on u-tube. Could these rifles have been BUBBA'd first? You also stand a chance of being hit by lightning or swallowed up in a sink hole before you had a chance to fire it. YES REMININGTON ignored a very simple/inexpensive fix, pointed out by designers/employees, basically from the rifles conception, tried to sweep the problem under the rug & got caught with their hands in the cookie jar, & have had to pay thru the nose for it. For those killed, sorry to your families, BUT poor safety/gun handling AT THE TIME, contributed to the fatalities as well as the gun & Rem's blatant attempted cover up . Big business's being unethical shouldn't come as a shock. BIG tobacco/alcohol/ the FDA/fast food/ the automotive industry, kill tens of thousands more of us then REMINGTON. By NO means do I condone their actions, but their are MUCH bigger fish to fry.

"Time for a new trigger", maybe/maybe not. If it aint broke, & has worked fine, FOR YOU, for a long time, save yourself the time & $ & use the correct method of keeping it pointed in a safe direction when chambering a live round. WHICH YOU SHOULD BE DOING WITH ANY RIFLE ANYWAY. If you knew you were gonna get a nice crisp/clean 3 1/2 pound trigger back from the recall, people would be lining up to send them back. Returning what you may now like, for a trigger that feels like you are pulling a sofa across a gravel road & is +/- an 8 pound pull, doesn't sound like it's a great idea.

Re: Possible recall on every Rem 700 ever made
This subject came up on a knife forum that I follow and the info posted by Remington says that 700 and Model 7 rifles made between May 1 2006 and April 9 2014 are subject to the recall. The rifles in question have an X-Mark Pro (XMP) trigger.
The link to their site is: http://xmprecall.remington.com/
Maybe this will help clear up some questions.
