The Timney Elite Hunter 510-V2 is an adjustable single-stage hunting trigger for Remington 700 and 40X pattern bolt actions.
The definitive Remington 700 hunting trigger — the Elite Hunter 510-V2 is Timney's best-known break, refined again.
The Timney Elite Hunter 510-V2 is among the most widely fitted replacements for the factory 700 trigger: a hand-assembled single-stage adjustable from 2 to 4 lb, breaking crisp and creep-free at every setting. The V2 generation carries Timney's latest sear geometry and finishing, and fits Remington 700 and 40X pattern actions — factory rifles, customs and clones alike.
Hunters buy the 510 for one reason: the first press on a cold morning behaves exactly like the thousandth on a summer bench. That predictability, hand-verified before shipping, is what Timney has sold since 1946.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which actions does the Elite Hunter 510-V2 suit?
It is made for Remington 700 and 40X pattern actions and replaces the factory trigger as a unit. Check clearance if the rifle is in an aftermarket chassis or has replacement bottom metal, as some designs run tight around the trigger body. Otherwise it is a straightforward swap using the existing pin locations.
What kind of shooting is the 2-4 lb range aimed at?
That window is a hunting weight rather than a match weight: light enough to feel clean and predictable, heavy enough to be sensible in the field with cold hands or gloves. It is a single-stage trigger, so there is no take-up stage to hold against, just one pull to the break. For most hunting rifles a setting in the middle of the range is a good place to start.
How does it compare with the thin-shoe version?
The 510-V2 uses the standard shoe width, which most shooters find natural straight away. The 510-V2THIN is the same family with a narrower shoe, which changes how the pressure feels on your fingertip and can suit smaller hands or shooters used to older sporting triggers. Neither is better; try to handle both if you can, or pick on what your current trigger feels like.
Is anything else needed to fit and set it?
No extra parts are required beyond ordinary hand tools, and the pull weight is adjustable within the 2-4 lb range once it is in. Always function-check and safety-check the rifle thoroughly after adjustment, and have a gunsmith do the work if you are not confident.
