I saw something on t.V. about this and a lawsuit because several civilians were killed. They went in depth and interviewed Both ARMY and MARINE snipers...Said that it happened quite a bit more than they were cool with..

I've played around with a few old school Remington triggers. You've got to keep the innards clean. Get any kind of debris in there and they do some strange things

Well this sure is a scary topic to read. I had heard this once a while ago but thought it was just a freak incident or possibly user error. Would love to get more details on the gun, what it's condition is, etc.
I have a 700 that is less than 2 years old and has maybe 200 rounds through it.
I've seen it happen twice, both in LE sniper schools. One was an older Remington trigger in 07 and the other was a 40x trigger back in October. It was very unpleasant and unsettling on both occasions.
Our work guns got new Timney's because of this possibility.

Yeah, definitely interested in hearing what the issue was. Don't want to experience the same with my SPS Tactical.
Be interesting to see the cause and how Remington responds.

This is the link to the CNBC story about Rem700 triggers. There was a very informative post on Tacticalforums.com regarding this. I have had no luck pulling it up. Looks like the older stuff on that site is not searchable.
We are issued rifles with those shitty triggers. We were actually taught to put it on fire and SLOWLY load the round.
Have you adjusted or attempted to adjust the trigger pull weight or sear engagement in any way prior to this?
