The Timney Elite Hunter 512-V2 is an adjustable single-stage hunting trigger with a straight shoe and nickel-plated finish for Remington 700 pattern bolt actions.
Straight shoe, nickel armor, hunter's heart — the 512-V2 is the Elite Hunter trigger dressed for hard weather.
The Timney Elite Hunter 512-V2 fits Remington 700 pattern rifles with a full-width straight shoe and nickel-plated finish — the straight profile giving a consistent finger position and straight-to-the-rear press, the plating standing guard against rain, fog and field corrosion. The single-stage pull adjusts from 1.5 to 4 lb and breaks crisp and creep-free across the entire range.
This is the trigger for working hunting rifles that live outdoors in hard weather: hand-assembled and individually tested, drop-in fit, and engineered to deliver the same clean break at a frosty first light as on the bench where you zeroed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 512-V2 fit Remington 700 pattern actions?
Yes, it is built for the Remington 700 footprint and replaces the factory trigger. The usual caveat applies for rifles in aftermarket chassis or with replacement bottom metal, where clearance around the trigger body can be tight. Check the inlet, or contact us with your rifle's details before ordering.
What sets this one apart in the Elite Hunter line?
It pairs a full-width straight shoe with a nickel-plated finish, which is the combination many shooters pick for a stainless or target-styled rifle. The straight face gives a consistent finger position regardless of how you hold the grip. It is a single-stage unit rather than a two-stage.
How light can it be set?
The pull adjusts between 1.5 and 4 lb, so it can be set light for deliberate range shooting or kept heavier for field use where the rifle is being handled and carried. It is worth settling on a weight and then leaving it alone rather than chasing small changes. Always safety-check the rifle after any adjustment.
Should I choose this or the thin shoe version?
Go for the thin-shoe 512-V2THIN if your trigger guard is narrow or you shoot in gloves; this full-width straight shoe is the better bet if you have room and want more trigger face to rest on. Both are nickel finished with the same 1.5 to 4 lb adjustment. Neither needs extra hardware.
