The Remington 700 is one of the most accurate factory actions ever made — and the factory trigger is usually the first thing holding it back. A replacement trigger from our Remington 700 Triggers collection is the fastest way to shrink your groups.
Pick your pull weight by purpose
- Hunting (1.5–4 lb): the Timney Elite Hunter 517-V2 is the classic — adjustable from 1.5 to 4 lb, so you can run lighter at the bench and heavier for gloved winter stalks.
- Precision & PRS-style (1–2.5 lb): the Timney Two-Stage Light 532 or TriggerTech Diamond Pro give a refined, repeatable break.
- Benchrest (down to 4 oz): the TriggerTech Diamond Flat adjusts from a feather-light 0.25 lb to 2 lb — zero creep at any setting.
Single-stage or two-stage?
Most 700 shooters run single-stage — it's the traditional bolt-gun feel. If you want tactile confirmation before the break (common in tactical and PRS shooting), Timney's 532-ST and 533 with safety bring genuine two-stage discipline to the 700.
Shoe style and finish
Curved, straight or thin — the Elite Hunter 512-V2 runs a straight nickel shoe, while the 510-V2THIN uses a slim shoe that leaves extra room in tight or gloved trigger guards. TriggerTech's flat levers (like the Rough Diamond Flat) suit modern low-finger technique.
Left-handed? You're covered
TriggerTech builds true left-hand-action triggers — see the Rough Diamond LH Curved and LH Flat.
Fitment notes
These triggers fit Remington 700 pattern actions, including many 40X models — check each product's Compatibility section, and confirm clearance with aftermarket chassis or bottom metal before ordering.
