I watched the same show. Interesting, but I would still own several remmy 700's.

Check Remington's site.
They duplicated it by setting the pull weight on the trigger to an unsafe level and performing unsafe modifications as seen in the videos.

I've heard about this.
So may 700s out there, I'm callin BS.

I've owned several over the years and adjusted/worked on the triggers. I've also seen and fixed a few that were messed up by those that didn't know what they were doing. But I've never seen one with a hair trigger that wasn't the result of 'tampering' (although some may claim 'tuning' and 'tampering' are not the same).

This has to be the same old thing that gets resurrected periodically. My Remmys are all fine, never had a problem. But if I'm going to do something to the trigger on one, I just take the factory unit off and put a Timney, Jewell, or Rifle Basix in it.
