Remington has announced a voluntary safety recall of Model 700 and Model Seven rifles with X-Mark PRo, or XMP triggers manufactured between May 1 2006 and April 9 2014.

The official statement reads: “A Remington investigation has determined that some XMP triggers might have excess bonding agent used in the assembly process.

“While Remington has the utmost confidence in the design of the XMP trigger, it is undertaking this recall in the interest of consumer safety to remove any potential excess bonding agent applied in the assembly process.”
