710 failure
I had this happen with my rifle (a remington 710) this fall at the range. I bought it in 2005 and other than the sloppy action it was a good first rifle for the price, shot a lot of deer with it. Anyhow, i put abought 3 rounds through it and went to pull the trigger and it would not pull. i was alone at the range but kept it pointed down range and as soon as i lifted the bolt a hair it went off. its a 7mm rem mag and i was not expecting it fire and almost dropped it. I ran some once fired brass though it and could not make it happen again. Fired about 5 more live rounds through it no problem, but i no longer trust this rifle and don't think I'll use it for anymore.
I upgraded to a 300 WM (a remingtopn 700 this time) and am going after my first moose tomorrow.
So anyone looking for a 7mm... JK.
