Remington had a safety recall about 10 years back or so on a bunch of different models of Model 700s that would were firing when the bolt was closed/and or the safety was pushed forward. If its an older gun, it might fall into the re-call category.
Take it to the gunsmith and have it checked out like the others have stated.

When you move the safety rearwards and the bolt handle locks then you need a gunsmith to look at it. Remington will fix the problem not sure how much they charge anymore. I believe it was 20 dollars a while ago. Should be free but we are talking Remington aren't we?
