Description
Timney built The Hit for one thing: getting the most out of a Remington 700 when you're pushing distance and chasing tight groups. It's a self-contained, drop-in unit that replaces the factory trigger with something far crisper, and it's the trigger Timney points to when folks ask for their best 700 option. There's real pedigree here too, with this design tied to a world-record long-range shot, so it's not just marketing talk.
What Sets The Hit Trigger Apart
The headline feature is Timney's Sear Engagement Adjustment Lock, or SEAL'd. It lets you adjust both pull weight and overtravel and then lock those settings in place so they stay put shot after shot. You can set the pull anywhere from a delicate 8 ounces all the way up to 2 pounds, which covers everything from a benchrest-light break to something with a bit more resistance for field work. The result is a clean, consistent break with very little overtravel, and that consistency holds up over extended range sessions.
Built From Real Steel, Not Shortcuts
Every part is machined using modern tooling with no metal injection molding or stamped pieces. The sear and trigger shoe are precision-machined and heat treated to 56 Rockwell, the shoe wears a black oxide coating, and the sear gets an NP-3 plating for slick, low-friction engagement that lasts. This particular version uses a nickel-plated curved shoe for right-handed use, riding in a CNC-machined aluminum housing.
Fitting The Hit to Your Rifle
The Hit works across the full spread of common Remington 700 chamberings, from .223 Rem and .308 Win up through the magnums like .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic rifle work, though some rifle and stock combos may want a little minor fitting. Keep it clean and lightly lubricated and it'll run for years. Timney backs the whole thing with their No Hassle Lifetime Warranty, which is about as good as peace of mind gets on a precision upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
How light can I set The Hit trigger?
The Hit adjusts from a very light 8 ounces up to 2 pounds. That gives you plenty of room to dial in a match-ready break for benchrest and long-range work, or add a little weight if you want more resistance under your finger. Both pull weight and overtravel are adjustable, and the SEAL'd system locks your settings so they don't drift.
Will this fit my Remington 700?
Yes, The Hit is designed specifically for the Remington Model 700 and works across the vast majority of common chamberings, from .223 Rem and .308 Win up through the big magnums. It's a self-contained drop-in unit, so most 700 owners can swap it in without much fuss. Some rifle and stock combinations may benefit from minor fitting.
Is The Hit hard to install?
For anyone comfortable with basic rifle work, installation is straightforward since the trigger drops in as a complete assembly. Adjusting the pull weight afterward is a simple process using the accessible adjustment screw. If you're new to it, a gunsmith can knock it out quickly.
What's the difference between the curved and straight versions?
This is the curved shoe model, which gives you that traditional trigger feel most shooters grew up with. Timney also offers a straight shoe version for those who prefer it, though the straight shoe isn't compatible with certain aftermarket stocks. Both share the same internals and adjustment range.
