I own three M700 ADLs; one built in 1968, one built in 1996, and one built last year. They're all good, all reliable, all accurate, and as far as I'm concerned, all safe. My two earlier ones had their triggers adjusted by the local professional gunsmith I use and trust, and they are perfectly set for my hunting needs. The one I got last year, I adjusted the trigger myself; very easy to do with just one allen screw setting (and some blue loctite). This last and latest one I own has the newly designed trigger by Remington, and mine adjusted nicely, and as I like it. FWIW, I've fired this rifle well over 600 hundred times since I've gotten it, and have had no issues whatsoever.
