The reason why I did not buy a Remington 700 decades ago was because of a similar problem with the Remington 600:

I was trying to decide on a hunting rifle back in the 1980's. I eliminated the Remington after seeing the Remington 600 recall notice and reading about a park ranger who accidently shot his friend after releasing the safety on his Remington 600. It's been over 20 years but I still remember the anguish I felt after reading about this incident.
