A very good response article. I agree totally. I don't have a Remington 700 or similar, but my Winchester 75T target rifle behaves similarly - if I lighten the trigger beyond a certain safe point using a wee screwdriver, it will fire when closing the bolt. Not a fault of the rifle, but a fault in procedure by the owner/shooter. I learned this safely at the range, and not by pointing a loaded rifle at someone!
