Problem with Remington Rifles?

[Phrost]

What the hell?
How do you unload a gun with the bolt closed?
Or rather, why would you do this?
I always open the chamber first. If the magazine is integral (I am not familiar with the 700), I never close the bolt all the way while shucking rounds out.
And I never point the sharp end at anything other than the ground while unloading.

Like I said, they stopped making the 700 with that "feature" a while back. I'm not justifying it, I'm just clarifying.
