In Phoenix Arizona, there are some of the nicest and friendliest people in the shooting community. These people prove on a daily basis that good old fashioned customer service is in fact alive and well. These people are within the walls of a company called Timney Triggers in Phoenix Arizona. The Timney Triggers company has been in the “Trigger Business” probably longer than anyone else, since 1946. They got their start making aftermarket triggers for Mauser, Springfield, and Enfield Rifles. Today they manufacture triggers for just about every common rifle as well as some surprises like SCAR Rifles and IWI Tavor.
Recently Timney subtly announced you can throw away the Remington factory X-Mark Pro trigger and drop in the new Timney 510 Thin Remington 700 Trigger. The trigger housing is heat-treated steel and features a trigger blocking safety. The 3-pound trigger pull model is available in left and right-hand versions with black or nickel finish.
Description
The Timney 510 THIN trigger is 1/4″ in width and comes with a safety that blocks the trigger, not the sear. No screws, drilling, or tapping required.
The Model 510 THIN will bring a whole new realm of accuracy to your Remington rifle, Remington 700 Clone Action. Each trigger is geometrically identical with tolerances less than .0005”. adjustable from 1.5 to 4 lbs.
How is the Timney Remington 700 trigger different from the factory trigger? There are two major differences. The first is that the trigger and sear in the Timney Trigger Group is made from a solid block of heat treated steel, not casted nor metal injected, allow for closer tolerance and precision.
The second difference is that our 510 trigger comes with a trigger blocking safety; that means there’s no way to move the trigger when it’s on safe, so when you take it off safe the trigger stays in the same position it started from.
Rifle Basix Remington ERV-3 K Trigger Installed – A Rifle Basix Remington ERV-3 K trigger kit installed in a brand new Remington 700 barreled action. It was quite easy to install. I have seen images that show the trigger kit in pieces. The trigger kit actually comes fully assembled and held together with plastic retainers. The included directions pictures were unreadable. Rifle Basix should do a better job with the instructions. There’s a good video on youtube of a 3d rendering of the installation. Most steps are irrelevant though due to the trigger being fully assembled and utilizing the Rifle Basix safety rather than the Remington. 5-7oz pull from the factory.
For folks not used to a premium low pull weight trigger your shots need to be very methodical and of course careful. THIS IS NOT A HUNTING TRIGGER, it’s a precision target trigger. Do not let others shoot your rifle without proper training and instruction. keep the muzzle in a safe direction. Keep the weapon unloaded until your in the shooting position.

I was researching a new Remington 700 trigger, something different and I happened upon Huber Concepts Remington 700 Trigger on Amazon of all places. The description below as well as Huber Concepts read like an infomercial. Not that that will stop me from trying one of these triggers myself to see how it stacks up to all my other rifle triggers. I’m going to email the manufacturer for further information. Stay tuned
