Question It happened to us " I think "

Many years ago when my 700 BDL left hand bolt was new ( late 70's) I was hunting with my brother. We were sitting around the fire and he asked to look at it. He was messing around with it and I was looking way when all of a sudden BOOM, it scared the absolute snot out of both of us.

He swore he never had his finger anywhere near the trigger. There was no harm no foul because of course as always the muzzle was under control and not pointed towards anyone. Even though he protested he never touched the trigger I attributed it to the awkwardness of a right hander operating a left hand bolt. I mean I know how clumsy I always feel when I pick up a right handed gun, but he insisted repeatedly that he never touched the trigger and he is a very careful man.

I never tried to duplicate it because I was sure he must have accidentally touched it off. I have never had a problem since but now I am wondering ?
