The Timney Elite Hunter is a self-contained, drop-in trigger for the Remington 700 and 700-pattern actions, and it's about as clean an upgrade as you'll find for a bolt rifle. This is the right-hand, thin straight-shoe version wearing a nickel-plated finish, so it looks sharp and shrugs off moisture out in the field. It comes set from the factory at a 3 lb pull and is adjustable from 1.5 to 4 lbs, letting you dial in a break that fits how you shoot. Every trigger is heat-treated tool steel where it counts, individually tested and hand-calibrated on the action it was built for before it ships out.
If you've spent any time behind a stock Remington 700, you know the factory trigger can feel heavy and a little creepy. The Elite Hunter fixes that with a factory-calibrated sear engagement and a smooth, defined break that helps take shooter error out of the equation. It includes a working side safety and a bolt stop release, so you keep all the function you expect while gaining a far better feel at the shoe. The thin straight profile gives you a consistent finger placement shot after shot, which a lot of folks find easier to run than the traditional curved blade.
This is a genuine drop-in unit, so there's no drilling and no gunsmith required. Most people knock out the swap in around 15 minutes with a punch and a couple of hex wrenches: pop the bolt, pull the stock, drift the pins, and drop the Timney in. Pull weight and overtravel are both user-adjustable, and Timney's guide walks you through it step by step. One rule worth repeating: don't chase the pull weight below the rated 1.5 lbs, since the trigger needs to keep enough spring pressure to stay safe and reliable.
The Elite Hunter works across the huge spread of Remington 700 chamberings, from little .17 Rem and .223 up through .308, .30-06, 7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win Mag, and the heavy magnums. Minor fitting may be needed depending on your specific action, but that's normal territory for a 700 trigger swap. Whether you're building out a hunting rig or tightening up groups on a range gun, this is a straightforward path to a better trigger.
Yes, the Elite Hunter is built for the Remington 700 and 700-pattern actions across the full range of chamberings, from .17 Rem and .223 up to the big magnums like .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua. It's the right-hand version with a working safety and bolt stop release. Minor fitting may be needed depending on your specific action, which is normal for a 700 trigger swap.
No, this is a self-contained drop-in trigger, so there's no drilling or gunsmithing involved. Most people finish the swap in about 15 minutes using a punch and a couple of hex wrenches to drift the pins and set the new unit in place. Timney includes instructions, and the whole job is very approachable for anyone comfortable taking a bolt gun out of the stock.
The trigger ships set at 3 lbs and adjusts from 1.5 to 4 lbs, so you can tune it lighter for target work or a touch firmer for hunting. Timney advises against going below the rated 1.5 lb minimum, since the trigger needs enough spring pressure to stay safe and reliable. Both pull weight and overtravel are user-adjustable.
The thin straight shoe on this model gives you a flatter, narrower blade that promotes consistent finger placement on every shot. A lot of folks prefer it over the traditional curved trigger because it feels more predictable and lets them make contact in the same spot each time. Function is otherwise identical, so it comes down to what feels best to your hand and rifle.
