Don't really have an opinion on the clip, but I will be carrying my Remington Saturday morning, as well as the other 5 people I will be hunting with...if you treat every firearm as if it were loaded and follow all the safety precautions that should be taught to everyone, like my grandfather and Dad drilled into my head as I was a youngster...I hope if there really is a problem that there is an easy fix that won't harm the firearm business anymore than it is already hurting...if a gun is not pointed at someone they won't get shot...
You can put your faith in that Remington Model 700 no doubt! I owned one and was proud of it, never misfired and was a true tack driver at 100 yards plus. As for CNN, they hounded me to no end after the trajic loss of my 24 year old son, my boy took his first deer with that model 700 and that is a memory that always makes me smile!
Even if the gun has a defect and should be recalled, what ever happen to muzzle control and basic gun safety. I'm not justifying a defect if there is one, but the person in possession of a gun is the one ultimately responsible. I shot a 30-30 for a little while and really didn't like the safety or the loading and unloading, so I was extremely careful while handling it and stopped using it after that season.
