Just bought a Remington 700 .270 quick question

[bigmommashouse]

I have been told that some of the guns will fire off by themselves I am wondering if this is all fixed or just a certain year?

 

here is a video of me shooting it I love it so far

Guns don't fire all by themselves........truth.

Gimme some more Rolling Stones!

If I remember right a few years back they were having trigger issues...but had a recall fixed them. I owned one didn't care for action much so I moved to a savage axis 270...good luck with it 270 is a great round

Remington recently had a massive recall on their Model 700's due to "faulty" trigger.  Check with Remington to find out if your 700 falls into that category.

Buy a timney 510 trigger. 116$ for peace of mind. I have heard local stories of issues with guns of various ages.

If it was already fixed by Remington there will be a little punch mark on the bolt release.

The latest recall effected rifles (700's) made from 2006 to 2014. All 700's that were in stores should have been sent back and repaired. Like Kujo48 said..look for a small punch mark on the bolt release, if you know that your rifle was made within the time period.

Apparently the issue is more wide ranging, but they only had to recall ones that were sold within x timeframe.

they had a problem years back were some rifles fired when the bolt was closed on a live round......I'm gonna say early to mid 70's.
