Not the same situation, but...
Using an OLD school .22 stevens single shot with the plunger trype safety. Walking down a trail and it went off when my brother was holding it. We always point guns in a safe direction so we were okay.

This time it's going to be an expensive repair.
Not necessarily. Just get some snap caps and try to replicate.

Not real sure on the specifics. I know it’s a black synthetic stock semi-auto Remington that was purchased by a friend from Walmart about 22ish years ago.
Bought her a pink browning 7mm-08 to take its place.

Just get a Timney trigger and replace it, probably spend more time looking for tools than anything.

Wife’s 30-06 used to fire a round when she’d click the safety off. It’s a known problem with that Remington model. It has stayed in the gun safe ever since it’s done it the 2nd time.
I have 3 remington rifles and all triggers have been replaced.

The exspensive repair might be what he accidentally shot.

I have a little Marlin lever action . It has been hanging up for years. I think it’s the spring in the tube feeder. Anyway…
I had the tube out . Checked the gun nothing appeared to be in it. Worked the lever and BOOM.
I’m still no sure where I messed up. I don’t fool with a lot of lever guns though.
Still bothers me.

I’m honestly trying to think of why he is removing a mag with a chambered round? Especially with the safety on? ETA: safety off I meant
I have the same rifle, well actually 2 of them in different calibers , but regardless, that is my SOP to unload with safety on, I drop the mag, then take safety off and pull the bolt and remove live round and place it back in the mag, close the bolt , put safety back on and insert loaded mag back into rifle ….then climb down stand, put rifle back in safe or whatever

I'm a bit curious to know what might have been shot

To answer OP's question since im beating on him a bit, I had a true accidental discharge once. A rifle with an aftermarket timmney trigger that had a set screw back out. I was picking it up to practice aiming at some birds and the palm of my hand touched the safety and BOOM. It was very easily replicated after and the problem was immediately evident with the rifle out of the stock. The trigger mechanism was about to fall off.
Aftermarket triggers are usually a bad idea and jacking with triggers in general is usually a bad idea. Dont do it.
That said, an unmolested tikka trigger is very safe. Its also very light with a very short travel, an OP almost certainly touched the trigger unknowingly, or has a molested rifle, or both.

swear my finger was not near the trigger each time. As soon as the mag released bam!! Yes, safety should have been on I know.
Wow.

My old browning abolt can’t be unloaded while on safety but still haven’t touched off a round unintended

The safety on a tikka locks the bolt closed. You have to take the safety off to open the bolt.
Then he needs to eject the round (open the bolt) prior to doing anything.
I don't understand why there was one in the chamber if he isn't in the blind/stand.
Dude needs to review his order of gun safety, like you said earlier.

I own 2 tikka rifles.
I always eject the mag, then unchamber the round. Pretty same with most of my pistols that don't have safeties on them.
There's no excuse for the rifle to be firing supposedly without reason.

quote:2 more times than you should. Not going to be popular opinion, but man you gotta be safer, the odds of it being a mechanical malfunction versus a human one are incredibly small. Just open the bolt and it cant shoot while you are manipulating the release. But that is pretty scary.
I have shot it more this past year than ever before.

Do you do that with the safety off??

A lot of my pistols don’t even have “safeties”

My brother's Remington did the same, years ago. We were sighting it in the the first time it happened I got on him pretty good. He chambered another round and it went off as soon as he clicked the safety off. Never shot it again.

Never.
I've had ADs with blanks (but, I suppose the trigger was pulled - #Acewaspunchyfromnosleepanddumbadangerouscombination)
I've had a runaway M-60 (which is more fun than it sounds if you are safely on a range, but just as terrifying).
Never what you described, though.

Never happened to me, but gun safety was beaten into me at a young age.
