Evidently there is some confusion here...

I have not read of out of battery ADs with the 700.

My understanding is that the gun ADs upon moving the safety from On to Off with a round in the chamber. The bolt is closed on the round just as one would expect it to be. The safety must be in the Off position to open the bolt or to fire the weapon. Thus someone who has loaded a cartridge into the chamber and then set the safety to On is now in the position of holding a gun that may go off when one moves the safety to Off to either fire the gun or to unload it.

The injuries/deaths result from a lack of muzzle control combined with this defect.

Perhaps my understanding of the defect is incorrect.

Ken
