[edit] Safety issues
CBS TV news did a series a few years ago claiming the 700 had issues with the safety & a tendency to fire even on safe. Can somebody confirm & include? Cheap Gunsel 10:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I have found two reports here. http://hunting.about.com/od/guns/a/aacbsnewsrem700.htm , http://hunting.about.com/od/guns/a/aacbsnewsrem700_2.htm it sounds like an attept to make news. Paulwharton 18:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Merge tag
Today I suggested that Remington 700 P be merged into this article per WP:GUNS#"Target" versions. I will explain briefly: the 700 P version essentially constitutes a slightly improved version of the 700, and is essentially another version of the same gun. Thus, under the policy cited, Remington 700 P should be merged into this article.--LWF 20:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Done, hope you like it. If you have any more information or don't like the language, please edit. It would also be nice to have some more info for the military paragraph and some more design features in general. Boris Barowski 17:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Catridges, in infobox
Why does it only list .223, .308 and .30-06? Rem 700s have been made (factory) in everything from 17 Rem to 375 RUM and probably further, with dozens of cartridges in between.--Russell E 23:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I am making a table with the calibers available User:Boris_Barowski/700 to solve this problem. Please check it out. It isn't finished yet, I'm still working on it. --Boris Barowski 10:13, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Remington 700 SPS
Reading your information about the Remington 700 SPS Rifle I noticed that the barrel length of 26 inches was left out of the available barrel lengths for the rifle. The Remington 700 SPS Varmint is available in a 26 inch barrel and is chambered in various calibers. To verify this info one can logon to the Remington website and go to the SPS page and view the specifications. I have recently ordered one of these rifles with the 26 inch barrel and 308 caliber. Your chart only shows the rifle with a 24 inch barrel when chambered in 308 caliber. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.185.37.188 (talk) 01:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
