Probably shouldn't watch this liberal crap..But 60 minutes about to have a show about the Remington 700

I afraid the liberal spin and out right lies would just piss me off.

I will probably watch it.

I bet it is recall/accidental discharge stuff.

Nevermind Trump story trumped 700..Imagine that

I think they do this about every other year.

People still watch 60 minutes?

Probably that accidental fire thing being re-aired

I had one rem 700 that I got rid of the second time it fired by itself------- its real. As far as I"m concerned Rem should be put out of business for not fixing it.

About 15 min. fix. Give me all of them you are scared of.

I have a remington 700 that was made in the 1960's that I bought used. Who know what someone did to it before I owned it. But I didn't really like it because of having to take it off safe to work the bolt, so I took it to a gunsmith. I didn't ask the details of what he did, but he fixed it so that I can cyle the round out of the chamber with it still on safe.

Assuming that the accusations of "take it off safe and it fires by itself" is real, do you think the fix that my gunsmith did reduces the problem? Or is there still a chance it will self-fire when I take it off safe, even though my finger is not on the trigger?

I worked in a gunshop for many years that was also a Remington Authorized Service Center. It sounds like what your gunsmith did was what was commonly referred to as " the Safety Conversion"...common operation which should indeed render your rifle safe...

Well, the problem is that the gun is and had always been defective. Remington has lost 10s of millions in lawsuits before they started settling out of court. There are numerous recalls, first for the original Walker trigger 700 series and then the idiots at Remington tried to replace it with the X trigger that has also had a recall.

I believe it was largely the story my MSNBC that helped force one of the recalls. How Remington could claim on one hand that the guns were perfectly safe while losing lawsuits and issuing recalls is beyond me.

I don't get the "liberal crap" part

CBS ...Used to be know as Clinton Bull...Sh#@..Everybody knows that it was preempted by Mary Tyler moire special

The Remington trigger problem is real. I had a Model 7 that discharged as soon as the safety was pushed to the fire position. Once ! The problem was resolved with a Rifle Basix trigger replacement.

There is nothing liberal or conservative about defective product, that is what was confusing me. As long as the facts are being presented doesn't matter which network it comes from.

I bet it won't be a positive story.

This story already ran a year ago..And I agree...I was talking about the CBS liberal network..Sorry about the misunderstanding..My bad

didn't know 60 minutes was still on.

You apparently also didn't know that spamming your way to 100 posts means you don't get to sell your used Glock for $550...

That individual has been a member here since 2006 or 3 years longer than you have.

People don't listen to facts anymore. It's unfortunate. Thats how I know Idiocracy is becoming a reality

He had one post in 2011, one in 2014 & then 40 meaningless spam posts yesterday that stopped right at 100..

I don't understand what his join date has to do with anything..

Facts and alternative facts seems to be subject of much debate these days.
