The Timney Elite Hunter 512-V2THIN is an adjustable single-stage hunting trigger with a thin straight shoe and nickel finish for Remington 700 pattern bolt actions.
Thin, straight and nickel-bright — the 512-V2THIN is the Elite Hunter trigger for shooters who want modern feel with field-proof finish.
The Timney Elite Hunter 512-V2THIN combines three deliberate choices: a thin shoe that concentrates trigger feel onto the finger pad, a straight profile that encourages a low finger position and dead-rearward press, and a nickel-plated finish that shrugs off the moisture and corrosion of real hunting seasons. Beneath them sits the Elite Hunter's adjustable 1.5–4 lb single-stage — crisp and creep-free wherever you set it.
Every unit is hand-assembled and individually tested, and drops directly into Remington 700 pattern actions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 512-V2THIN fit my rifle?
It is made for Remington 700 pattern actions, with a thin shoe intended for rifles whose trigger guards don't leave much room. As always with bolt guns, check clearance if the rifle sits in an aftermarket chassis or has replacement bottom metal. Contact us with the make and stock details if you want a second opinion before ordering.
What's distinctive about this version?
It combines two things: a thin shoe for tight trigger guards and a straight face rather than a curve, all in a nickel finish. The straight shoe keeps your finger contact point consistent whatever the depth of your grip, which appeals to shooters running a target-style stock. Underneath it is the same single-stage Elite Hunter unit.
What pull weight does it run at?
It is adjustable from 1.5 to 4 lb, so you can set it up light for supported shooting or leave it heavier for carrying in the field. The adjustment is part of the unit rather than something you buy separately. Whenever you change the setting, run a full safety and function check before using the rifle.
Is the nickel finish just cosmetic?
Mainly, yes: it's a lighter, brighter look than the black units and some shooters like it against a stainless barreled action. Performance-wise it is the same trigger as the black thin-shoe 510-V2THIN, so choose on appearance and shoe shape. Nothing further needs buying to run it.
