Description
The Timney Elite Hunter is a drop-in replacement trigger designed for Remington Model 700 right-hand bolt-action rifles, built for hunters and precision shooters who want a cleaner, more consistent break than the factory unit provides without sending the rifle to a gunsmith. The entire assembly is self-contained, meaning installation is a matter of swapping the factory trigger group rather than fitting individual components, which removes most of the variables that lead to inconsistent results when assembling a trigger from parts.
Pull weight runs from 1.5 to 4 pounds and is user-adjustable, so the same trigger can be set light for bench work or wound up slightly for field carry without any additional tooling or parts. Creep and overtravel are also adjustable, letting the shooter dial out slack before the break and movement after it. The sear engagement comes factory-calibrated at the factory, which keeps the geometry consistent from unit to unit rather than relying on the shooter to set a dimension that directly affects both feel and reliability.
The trigger and sears are machined from heat-treated tool steel, and the assembly carries a Nickel Plated finish that resists corrosion through weather exposure. One practical feature worth noting: the bolt can be cycled with the safety engaged, which matters for hunters who chamber a round and then need to clear the action quietly in the field. Timney manufactures these in Phoenix, Arizona through a process that includes precision machining, hand assembly, and individual calibration and testing before the unit ships. Minor fitting may be required depending on the specific receiver.
