Had my first experience with this tonight.
Sighting in a friend's Rem 22-250 heavy barrel, ejected a spent round and it went bang as soon as I closed the bolt, fingers no where near the trigger. Tried it again with no ammo loaded and was able to duplicate it about eight bolt cycles later.
This prompted me to do some googling and turns out this is a trigger problem and not uncommon. I don't know why I've never known about it, but It could be because I don't own any short action or lower end 700's.
I've told my friend he's not getting the gun back until we fix or replace the trigger.
Has anyone here had this happen and what trigger did you install or did you fix the stock trigger and sear?
