"Due to the presence of a bolt-lock mechanism, this required her to release the safety in order to open the bolt to eject the chambered round," according to the suit. "Immediately upon releasing the safety, the rifle suddenly and unexpectedly discharged.
"The trigger was not pulled or contacted in any manner, but instead the rifle fired on safety release, a phenomenon Defendants refer to as 'FSR.' ... Richard Augustus Barber died as a result of the gunshot wound on the way or at the emergency room at Madison Valley hospital," according to the lawsuit.

Sounds like this case is actually filed in Montana, where the death occurred.
It looks like having to take the gun off safe to unload it is the claim on these, together with the "it fired when I took the safety off" claim i.e. my Audi just ran away-I didn't hit the gas by mistake (Audi proved all those claims to be false and it still cost them tons of business). But I think manufacturers get nervous when another manufacturer has a safety feature that they don't.
Now that they have paid on one of these claims you will see more. Personal injury attorneys share pleadings and expert opinions through various organizations (ATLA) so anyone who gets in a call from someone claiming that their Remington went rabid and killed someone on it's own (Bad Rifle!! Bad!!) can get the info on how to pursue the claim fairly quickly.
I would guess that you won't hear anything else on this case until Remington pays it in about 2 years for "an undisclosed amount."
