GOB,
I saw the video and it was poor reporting in my view; we need more information.
1. How did that father shoot his son in the wrist in Alaska? Did he always point his rifle at his son in the past?
2. How did that Michigan deer hunter shoot his wife in the abdomen? Did he always point the rifle at her midsection when loading and unloading?
Even Mrs. Barber could have pointed her rifle skyward rather than horizonal in camp. The "horror" stories look like "easy outs" for people who never practiced safe gun handling; Petzel got it right. If Belk could fix the Remington trigger for 5-cents, what is he waiting for?
I have owned Remington rifles since 1967 and never had an AD! I never heard of one at my gun clubs since I joined in 1967 and never heard of any from deer hunters since I started hunting in 1958. I will accept any Remington rifles anyone wishes to be rid of. Send me a PM and I will give you the address of my local gunshop. I really want 700 BDLs in the following calibers: 7x57, .280, 8x57, .300 WM, .375 H&H, .416 and .458. I will pay shipping. Donors may leave scopes and slings on their objectionable Remington Model 700 BDLs.
Thank you.
Adam
