Keep these triggers clean and keep your finger off of them and they do not malfunction.

How do you explain the failures of new guns at the factory?

A friend flipped the safety off and BOOM!!! A 7mm Rem Mag model 700 BDL brand new!!!. He contacted Remington and they had him send it in. The rifle was replaced with another brand new one? I always questioned the swap out? It was about 1980.

I have owned and shot many a round thru Remington 700 rifles. I have never had an AD. Once when adjusting the trigger pull on a 700, I checked the pull weight outside the stock and it was 4 lbs. The adjustment screw was sealed with hot glue. No engagement or over-travel adjustment was made. I drop-checked the barreled action and the sear held. I then screwed the barreled action into the stock. The drop test and the safety test then failed, and the striker fell both times. Check the bedding!

I agree about bedding. The only AD I ever had with a 700, and I've had a few (700's, not AD's), was in a synthetic stock that I bedded. There was not enough space for the safety to move full on. My fault entirely.
