I have a Remington 40-XB with what I presume is a Mike Walker trigger subject to the possibilities alluded to in the lawsuit(s?). It would be nice to have a setup with a safer safety, but what the heck, it's mostly a target rifle, and regardless of what it is, it has to be handled with due regard for the facts of life. I'm not getting mine messed with, because I don't trust Remington to handle my wooden pillar-bedded stock correctly, and I don't have a problem with my VERY nice trigger, other than the proper handling procedure dictated by the characteristics of the trigger. I have a hang tag on my rifle which says the following:
WARNING: This Remington 40-XB rifle uses a trigger
assembly designed for TARGET USE ONLY. Under
certain circumstances, this rifle may discharge when being
loaded or unloaded. It may discharge upon opening or
closing the bolt, upon setting or releasing the safety, or even
upon pulling the trigger. The rifle must always be oriented
with the possibility of UNEXPECTED DISCHARGE in
mind. Constant safe orientation is likely only at a formal target
range. If you don't understand the above, or even just disagree
with it, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF THIS RIFLE.
P.S. Many rifle safeties **** big ****** *****. One would be well advised to plan around that fact.
