This issue has been going on for some time with the Remingtons. My understanding is that certain models manufactured during a certain period were more likely than others to have this problem. Also, this tended to happen more with people who did trigger work on their rifles making them more hair triggers than standard factory settings. For what it's worth I have a Remington 700 that has had none of these issues.

Same here bought my Remington 700 BDL .270 back in 1989. It is my favorite and been my go to hunting rifle every year since. Can't ever say that it fired by it self.
Probably the exact same segment they have shown in the past. Whenever 60 Minutes needs to push anti-gun nonsense, they use this one to show that even hunting rifles are dangerous baby-killing monster machines!!!

For what it's worth I never point the muzzle of my 700 at anything I don't want shot. My Timney is set to 10oz it has never gone off unless I pulled the trigger.
Was there a defect with the design of the trigger, evidence points to the fact there was, the Ten Commandments of shooting was invented to avoid Remington's liability with faulty safeties.
Is it a common occurrence no, bit there is somthing to be said about the design haveing a flaw.

I'd love to take the 60 minutes reporters to the target range to show them how dangerous it really isn't.

I've heard both sides, that this is real or just an anti-hoax. The US isn't exactly known for QC sometimes (low number Springfields exploding).

I don't know, some of the engineering stuff/cost cutting seems legit.

No one is mentioning that 60 minutes pre-empted the advertised Remington story and re-ran a slanted pro-Syrian refugee piece instead. They clearly were piling on MSM fake out-cries for recent Presidential Orders. (At least on the WCBS NY Channel 2 feed.)
