Remington Arms Company LLC reached a class action settlement with class members who allege that several of its rifles have defective triggers, which have caused accidental discharges and even death. If you own a rifle made by Remington, you may be able to benefit from this class action settlement.

Remington has agreed to remove and replace the original trigger mechanism in several models of its rifles including: Remington Model 700, Seven, Sportsman 78, 673, 710, 715, 770, 600, 660, XP-100, 721, 722, and 725 firearms that contain a trigger mechanism that uses a trigger connector.

This class action settlement is also for owners of Model 700 and Model Seven rifles, which have a X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism manufactured from May 1, 2006 to April 9, 2014, which were the subject of an ongoing voluntary safety recall, and who did not participate in the voluntary X-Mark Pro product recall before April 15, 2015. The company warns that if someone owns one of these rifles, he or she should stop using the rifle immediately.

In addition, current and former owners of Model 700 and Model Seven rifles who had their rifle’s original Walker trigger mechanism replaced with an X-Mark Pro trigger mechanism may also benefit from this class action settlement.







This Remington class action settlement, which was reached in December 2014, resolves allegations brought against the firearm maker in 2013 by plaintiff Ian Pollard, who alleged that his Model 700 rifle fired unexpectedly due to a defect in the Walker trigger mechanism.

Remington denies any wrongdoing in the matter, but has agreed to this class action settlement to avoid the costs and risk of trial. This class action settlement was granted preliminary approval by a Missouri federal judge on April 14, 2015.

UPDATE: On Jan. 17, 2017, parties to a long-fought Remington defective trigger class action lawsuit are seeking final court approval of a settlement agreement covering upwards of 7 million individual firearms.
