R.I.P. Scout26
The ruling allows the owners of some of Remington's most popular firearms — including the iconic Model 700 rifle — to have their triggers replaced free of charge....The settlement covers Remington's Model 700, as well as these other firearms: Seven, Sportsman 78, 673, 710, 715, 770, 600, 660, 721, 722 and 725 rifles, and the XP-100 bolt-action pistol....Under the settlement, most of these guns will be retrofitted with a new trigger mechanism free of charge. However, some models — specifically the 600, 660, 721, 722, 725 and XP-100 — are considered too old to be retrofitted, so Remington is offering owners of those guns a product voucher worth between $10 and $12.50.
The cost to Remington appears to be fairly modest, so they must be happy to put this behind them.
I see that class action plaintiff counsel stand to collect at least $ 12.5 million in fees.
Anyone know if you can get replacement triggers for 722s? At one time you could, but that was back in the 1970s or early 1980s.
SPECS: Housing - Aluminum billet, matte black. Trigger Shoe/Safety Lever – Steel, matte blued finish or matte nickel plated. Heat-treated steel internals and polished sear/trigger surfaces. Serrated .375” wide shoe. Includes instructions. Fits 700, 721, and 722, including models with ISS bolt lock. Does not lock the bolt closed, even on older model rifles with original safeties that locked the bolt.
I need to fix the safety on the 721 my FIL gave me. Not sure if I want to do anything about the trigger though.
