Trigger Replacement

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to replace my trigger in my Remington 700 7mm. What is everyone's opinion on aftermarket triggers such as timney, rifle basix, jewell, etc. Is it all personal opinion or are there some flaws with any of them.

I love my timneys. I've never understood the reasoning behind a expensive jewel, unless the desired trigger pull is a pound or less.

Timmeys are awesome! I always just order direct from them and have them set at 2lbs. To me that's perfect! Being an AZ company and Christian owned is a plus for me too.

Does anyone have a flat timney instead of the curved?

Addicted does. I installed it for him last year.

 

I have 2 timneys for sale (switched them out for jewels last week) if your interested. $75 ea.

( Both triggers sold)

All my rifles wear Huber Concepts triggers (I prefer their two-stage model). They are pricey, but I feel they are the best on the market. One of them has over two thousand documented 'pulls' still works like a champ. Sent it back to Huber Concepts for a "look over". They pulled it apart and found very little wear at all. They have never malfunctioned on me - and I spend a lot of time in the dirt.

I have a Timney for a Rem 700 I need to dig up and sell cheap, just sitting in my extra parts. I have a Timney on my Mauser and its awesome.

I bottomed out the trigger on my tikka at 2 lbs and never figured out how nice it was until I shot the old .270 winchester my father in law gave my son. I went to shoot it for the first time and pulled up to see if I had left the safety on. I ended up taking the Winchester to a gunsmith and he said the trigger pull was at 7lbs. I love the trigger on my tikka and wonder how much better an aftermarket trigger can be. I am not saying an aftermarket trigger is not better, but would be interested to know how many tikka owners with aftermarket trigger experience have switched out their stock triggers. I just focus on the target and give a slight squeeze and let the gun surprise me when it goes off. My senses are probably just unrefined.

Timney for Rem 700 cheap?

How much is cheap?

I might be in the market if it has a safety and depending on model.

I'm about to do some spring cleaning and will list several things including that trigger. I'm just always on the road so it's harder for me to get those things done.

 

My dad has a Win Mod 70 featherweight from the 80s that has the worst trigger ever. I think Winchester went through a phase where they had really "safe" triggers. The opposite of Remington that went through a phase of really dangerous triggers that would fire just by taken it off safety.
