Just when you think everybody is aware - WOW - in conversation with a good friend and frequent hunter this evening he remarked that his Rem 700 in .300 Win Mag sometimes fires on its own when the buttstook is bumped.

Having heard about this issue for quite some time - and about a Remington "fix" program in the past - it jolted me that he was not aware. I just went to the Remington website and they say NOTHING about this issue there. I was hoping to, at least, find a range of serial numbers for the known problem.

I want to see him get this fixed right away. Do any of you guys have the straight dope, a reference article or web site info on this problem? Do you know the range of serial numbers for suspect rifles? The Remington contact/process?

All good info will be appreciated. Thanks.
