Description
The Timney Elite Hunter is a fully self-contained, drop-in trigger built to replace the factory unit in the iconic Remington Model 700. It comes to you set at a factory 3 lb pull weight, with a slim curved blade that gives your trigger finger a clean, natural point of contact. Every component is machined and hand-tested at Timney before it ships, and this right-hand model uses a heat-treated tool steel trigger and sear riding in a lightweight aluminum cassette housing.
Why the Elite Hunter Trigger Earns Its Spot on a Rem 700
What sets this one apart is Timney's Sear Engagement Adjustment Lock design, or SEAL'd, which keeps the sear engagement dialed in and consistent shot after shot. That translates to a break that feels the same in the deer stand at dawn as it does off the bench at the range. The Elite Hunter also carries a working trigger-blocking side safety and a bolt stop release, so it keeps the manual of arms you already know on your Model 700.
Dialing In Your Timney Elite Hunter
The pull weight is adjustable, and the trigger is set up for creep and overtravel tuning so you can tailor the feel to your rifle and your style. Timney sets sear engagement at the factory and recommends leaving that one alone, so most folks just tweak the pull weight and go. Installation is a straightforward job that skips the gunsmith. You pull the bolt and action, tap out the two trigger pins, drop the Timney unit into place, and reset the bolt stop and pins. A little minor fitting is sometimes needed depending on the stock, but the design is meant to be a frustration-free swap.
Built by a Name That's Been at This Since 1946
Timney has been making replacement rifle triggers since just after World War II, and the Elite Hunter has stayed one of their most popular Model 700 offerings since it launched. If you've been fighting a gritty, heavy factory trigger, this is one of the most effective accuracy upgrades you can make to a bolt gun without touching the barrel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Timney Elite Hunter fit my Remington 700?
This unit is built specifically for the Remington Model 700 in a right-hand configuration. It is a self-contained, drop-in design that replaces the factory trigger without a gunsmith. Depending on your stock, a little minor fitting around the trigger opening may be needed, but the swap is straightforward for most owners.
What is the pull weight and can I adjust it on the Elite Hunter trigger?
It ships set at a factory 3 lb pull and the weight is user-adjustable to suit your preference. The trigger is also adjustable for creep and overtravel. Timney sets the sear engagement at the factory and recommends leaving that setting alone, so most folks just fine-tune the pull weight.
Does the Elite Hunter keep the safety and bolt release?
Yes. This model includes a trigger-blocking side safety and a bolt stop release, so it retains the familiar operation of your Model 700. You will not lose any factory function by making the swap.
What is SEAL'd technology on the Timney Elite Hunter?
SEAL'd stands for Sear Engagement Adjustment Lock design. It keeps the sear engagement locked in and consistent, which is what gives the trigger its crisp, repeatable break shot after shot. That consistency is a big part of why the Elite Hunter feels the same in the field as it does at the range.
