Had the exact same thing happen to me. Everyone said I flinched real bad when I shot but I explained that I was actually raising the gun / my head to look at why it wasnt shooting and safety not moving when the gun fired

I got mine operating but I don't trust it. I think it has made its last hunt

I'm not saying these rifles don't have problems, but it looks to me like the guy had his finger on the trigger while he was switching off the safety.

Not saying it's what you do or anything, but that dude looks like he had his finger on the trigger when he switched it to fire.

I don't own a 700, but I have heard/read about these issues. Do its defenders believe these misfires to be purely user error? If I remember correctly, even Remington acknowledged problems with the older 700s (Pre-84ish?).
I doubt they believe there is a conspiracy to take down Remington, so there must be a reason that they think the 700 is gtg. I assume that they just believe Remington's mod fixed the problem? You're a younger guy, so I'd guess your 700 is newer, unless it was handed down from dad/grandad?

lol at his monster flinch before the gun even fired. Ya boy's pulling, not squeezing.

If the description of the video is correct, why would you shoulder the rifle after a malfunction like that?

I've witnessed a 700 misfire first hand. My brother has one we were sighting in a few years ago. Had it in the sled, pushed the safety forward and it went off. I jumped his arse and told him he had his finger on the trigger. Chambered another round with me watching closely, same thing. That gun was manufactured around 2002 or so.
