That's not the point Scott. Of course muzzle control trumps.
But to deny that the Remington trigger is capable of discharging by pushing the safety off is incorrect.
So is every other bolt action rifle trigger on the market, if it is improperly adjusted.
No matter what part of the rifle(sear or striker) that the safety may block, if the trigger/sear engagement is not firm enough to withstand handling, vibration etc they CAN go off when the safety is released.
Even a Model 70 trigger.
