I have a beautiful late 1960's Remington 700 ADL. However, I have been unable to use it since it had an accidental discharge while deer hunting. Looks like we now have a resolution from Remington. This settlement received preliminary approval last week, and Remington is now accepting claims against this settlement. Here is the notice from Remington:
If you own certain Remington firearms, you may be eligible for benefits from a class action settlement.
A proposed nationwide Settlement has been preliminarily approved in a class action lawsuit involving certain Remington firearms. The class action lawsuit claims that trigger mechanisms with a component part known as a trigger connector are defectively designed and can result in accidental discharges without the trigger being pulled. The lawsuit further claims that from May 1, 2006 to April 9, 2014, the X-Mark Pro® trigger mechanism assembly process created the potential for the application of an excess amount of bonding agent, which could cause Model 700 or Seven bolt-action rifles containing such trigger mechanisms to discharge without a trigger pull under certain limited conditions. The lawsuit contends that the value and utility of these firearms have been diminished as a result of these alleged defects. Defendants deny any wrongdoing.
Who's included?
The Settlement provides benefits to:
Settlement Class Members may be entitled to: (1) have their trigger mechanism retrofitted with a new X-Mark Pro or other connectorless trigger mechanism at no cost to the class members; (2) receive a voucher code for Remington products redeemable at Remington's online store; and/or (3) be refunded the money they spent to replace their Model 700 or Seven's original Walker trigger mechanism with an X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism.
