Remington 700 Trigger Upgrades: How to Choose the Right One

From field-ready Elite Hunters to benchrest-light Diamonds — how to pick the right Remington 700 replacement trigger, including left-hand options.

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

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.
