Description
The Timney Elite Hunter is a drop-in replacement trigger built for the Remington Model 700 and compatible pattern rifles. It suits hunters and precision shooters who want a cleaner, more predictable break than the factory trigger delivers without sending the rifle to a gunsmith.
The housing is machined from aluminum and the trigger itself from steel, which keeps weight down while maintaining the durability expected of a component that sees field use. The straight trigger shoe geometry means your finger contacts the blade at a consistent point across different hand sizes and glove thicknesses, which contributes to repeatable pull feel from shot to shot.
Installation is genuinely drop-in: the trigger group replaces the factory assembly using the existing action pins, and no inletting or fitting work is required. The pull weight range of 1.5 to 4 pounds gives this trigger meaningful flexibility. A lighter setting suits bench or precision work where deliberate, controlled shots are the norm. The heavier end of the range provides a margin of safety for hunting conditions where the rifle may be carried for hours before a fast shot is needed. The trigger ships with a safety, so the existing Model 700 safety system is retained rather than removed.
Because the pull weight is non-adjustable from the factory at a set value but the product is specified across a 1.5–4 lb range, this trigger is factory-set and designed to fall within that window rather than require user adjustment after installation. Timney tests each unit individually before it ships.
