I stopped watching at that point.

There may well be a problem with the triggers; there's a bigger problem with some owners.


I don't think you can say there isn't a trigger issue of some concern with a Remington 700

but...

keeps a loaded rifle with a chambered round in the case?


I'd like to hear the case of that Marine - especially not getting charged with some kind of negligence in the death of that girl.

Of course if he got charged, then they wouldn't get millions in a settlement from Remington
