I watched a 1 hour documentary on this the other night on CNBC here is a link that tells about it.

It re-airs again at 8pm tomorrow night on CNBC.
CNBC have little to no facts right in that documentary. Their witnesses are third parties without any way to substantiate their claims. Some of them didn't even work for Remington Firearms, they worked in other divisions. None of their "witnesses" have ever seen the problem they're complaining about either ....they've just "heard of it." (As ElkStalkR wrote...see here: http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs...al-different-look-remington-model-700-trigger)
To the Original Poster:
Is this a new 770 you purchased? The 770s used the old trigger assembly (the one requiring modification). Any new rifle sold after 2007 should have already had the trigger assembly fixed (including anything with the x-mark trigger).
If you own a NEW model 700 (not a 710 or 770 - cheap, cheap versions for the amateur) this problem should NOT exist.

Should the problem exist with the "cheaper versions for the amateur?"
I have known about the Remington safety problem for a long time . It's real, and Remington should be ashamed of how they have mishandled it. Just because I like guns is not enough reason for me to give them a pass on selling a known safety problem for many years.
I watched the entire documentary, and my recollection of content doesn't exactly match what you have written here. CB
