I've been using Reminton 700's my whole life. I do like them. One thing, I have never liked the safety on them, I don't much like one that locks in the trigger. I do like the Winchester 3 position safety that locks the bolt. Now I see this GENTRY CUSTOM LLC - REMINGTON 700 THREE-POSITION SAFETY SHROUD. Has anybody used one? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.brownells.com/userdocs/products/p_339000001_2.jpg)

No but if I still had a 700, I'd consider getting one. My 700 discharged once while I was closing the bolt, unloading it. I'm certain I didn't touch the trigger.

Why would you close the bolt to unload a 700?

Yep, I've had a Gentry safety on a couple of 700's. They worked great.

Yep, no need to shove one up the spout unless you want to get angry at something.
Safety is the mantra and you lessen the chances of bad sheit happening if you keep them out of the spout.

Im a fan of ADL mag boxes.
I have been told so many times how unsafe it is to have to cycle all the rounds thru the chamber to unload them.
I have shown several people the safe way to unload a ADL they always seem baffled.
I've always been different with one foot over the line.....

Just push the bolt forward enough to pop the round loose and then turn the action sideways to dump it out. Repeat. I have come to like a floor plate so they can be dropped out with the push of a button.

My gunsmith charged me $175 for the safety and installation on the last build he did for me. (An Interarms Mauser action).

Maybe not, but they are very neat.

Be a lot if you have 10 Rem 700's like I do to get those safety's installed. They sure look cool.
