ruger 77 uncocks automatically

I recently aquired an old tang saftey flat bolt 243 and while at the range last weekend I noticed that sometimes when I would close the bolt the rifle would uncock itself and maybe on the next try it would stay cocked and fire like it should and someone has adjusted the trigger as it is very light and I didnt know if that would play a part in the rifle uncocking it self...........

IMHO,
There is not enough sear engagement. Someone has dicked up the trigger job.

Unless there is a broken or badly damaged part, a gunsmith can reset the engagement to where it is safe. Probably for no more than a $20.00 bill.
