The Timney Elite Hunter 517-V2 is an adjustable single-stage hunting trigger for Remington 700 pattern bolt actions.
The hunter's trigger, refined — Timney's Elite Hunter 517-V2 tunes from 1.5 to 4 lb and breaks like winter ice.
The Timney Elite Hunter 517-V2 replaces the Remington 700's factory trigger with a hand-assembled single-stage adjustable from 1.5 to 4 lb — set it light for deliberate shots from a stand, or heavier for gloved, cold-weather hunting. Whatever weight you choose, the break stays crisp and creep-free, because the V2 generation carries Timney's latest refinements to sear geometry and finish.
Hunters trust the Elite Hunter line because the first shot is the one that counts: a clean, predictable break at your chosen weight removes the last mechanical excuse. Hand-tested, drop-in fit, done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 517-V2 fit a standard Remington 700?
Yes, it is built for Remington 700 pattern actions and replaces the factory trigger in the usual position. If the rifle sits in an aftermarket chassis or has replacement bottom metal, confirm there is clearance around the trigger body before ordering. Contact us with the rifle's details if you'd like us to check with you.
What is the Elite Hunter aimed at?
It is Timney's single-stage hunting trigger: one clean break with no take-up stage, which is what most hunters and field shooters want. The pull is adjustable between 1.5 and 4 lb, so you can set it light for range work or keep it heavier for use in the field with cold hands. Finish is black, and it's made in the USA.
How is the pull weight adjusted, and where should I set it?
The unit adjusts across its 1.5 to 4 lb range, so you dial in a weight rather than being stuck with the factory setting. For hunting use most shooters stay toward the middle or top of the range so the trigger isn't over-sensitive when handling the rifle. Whatever you set, always check the safety and do a proper function check afterward.
How does it differ from the other Elite Hunter models?
The 517-V2 is the standard-shoe black version; the range also includes nickel-finished and thin-shoe variants such as the 510-V2THIN for tighter trigger guards. All share the same 1.5 to 4 lb adjustment. Choose on shoe shape, finish and how much room your trigger guard gives you.
