Description
The Timney Elite Hunter Thin is a drop-in replacement trigger designed for the Remington 700 right-hand action, built for hunters and precision shooters who want a cleaner, more consistent break than the factory unit without sending the rifle to a gunsmith. The housing is constructed from aluminum with a steel trigger bow, keeping weight down while maintaining the structural integrity needed for reliable reset under field conditions.
The curved, thin-shoe profile is the defining feature here. Where a standard-width trigger shoe distributes finger contact across a broader surface, the thin shoe concentrates pressure at a narrower point, which gives shooters with smaller hands or those wearing gloves a more predictable reference for where their finger sits relative to the break. That consistency matters when you are shooting from an awkward field position and cannot verify your grip visually.
At three pounds, the pull weight sits light enough to minimize the muscular effort that causes muzzle movement during the trigger press, but remains substantial enough that it is unlikely to fire from handling or minor impact — a practical balance for a hunting trigger that sees use in the field rather than purely on a bench. The trigger is hand-assembled and tested at the factory before shipping, so the pull weight you receive is the pull weight that has been verified, not a figure set by adjustment at the bench after installation.
Installation requires no permanent modification to the receiver. The unit drops into the standard Remington 700 trigger pocket and is retained by the factory pins, which means it can be removed and the original trigger reinstalled without any permanent alteration to the action.
