From my review of the HuntAmerica posts, I did not find any empirical evidence that the design is flawed, just that it can be adjusted incorrectly. Some drawings would be nice. And lots of opinions back and forth. Only one post really got into design specifics. However, I will carefully re-read and check my 700's for some of the cited measurements just in case. (Not a believer, but also not a fool.

Re: adjusted triggers being at fault. Saying this is a design flaw is like saying that if you set the idle of your car at 5000 RPM, that it moves forward too quickly when you let off the brake, that the manufacturer made a faulty design.
<< I know there are 1000's, no 10's of thousands, of lawyers who make a living representing people who are candidates for Darwin awards. That aside, it is still not the fault of the design. A good lawyer could get a jury to convict or award money to a sandwich. >>
I still find that it appears to be "excessive headspace", or more correcly operator (or adjuster) error, couple with some poor gunhandling.
From the previous post my vintage 1977 700 deer rifle has the bolt locked feature, the PSS and LTR do not. I see no difference in feel. I also was drilled that when a cartridge is chambered, always have the gun at the target or downrange when manipulating any of the controls..., bolt, action, safety, trigger.
In adjusting any trigger with screw adjustments, you adjust the screw until it feels and works right, and then back of 1/8-1/4 turn. This ensures it is not at the ragged edge.
