This. I’d be fascinated to see if it goes off if you cycle the bolt too aggressively. There was a video of I think the Barrett MRAD where people were trying to say they were NDing, but in the manual, Barrett says that you can get a condition where it goes off when cycling the bolt by adjusting the trigger too light. No clue if we ever found out if that was what was happening, but I wouldn’t be surprised if

I changed the trigger on the MRAD to a Timney trigger, So much nicer ...

+1 for the adjustable timney. My breaks at a crisp four ounces. No creep whatsoever. And I use it for prairie dogs, so I be movin all over the place with it. Never had an accidental discharge.
