I have that rifle and I use it to teach the kids.
Seventeen years ago I bought a Rem 700 at Walmart for $200

Really does have a nice trigger!
But, to teach the kids,
close the bolt on an empty! chamber
flip the safety on
pull the trigger three times
bang the rubber butt on the floor
release the safety
and it usually will drop the pin
They say guns don't kill people, but the 700 has killed a few people.
There are millions of 700s still out there with that trigger.
I get flack for owning the thing, and not changing the trigger out, but it's an eyeopener when it goes click.
For extra excitement it has a closed floor, no magazine, makes old men cringe.
It lives unloaded with the bolt open in the safe.
