I guess the trigger/safety issue on the M700 just isn't going to die. Personally, I think their track record of safety speaks for itself, and I'm very suspicious of some of the stories surrounding this.
That said, someone asked here a while ago just what to look for in a bolt gun for hunting. To me, (among other things) it must have a safety that blocks the firing pin, not just the sear as it does on an M700. To me, that disqualifies it as a hunting rifle right there. Great varmint guns or target guns, but no hunting rifle in my estimation. Having a cocked, unrestrained firing pin simply does not qualify as any form of "safety" in my world. Whether or not they really are failing is, I guess, immaterial to me. I don't trust 'em anyway.
