The Timney Two-Stage 533 is an adjustable two-stage replacement trigger with an integrated safety for Remington 700 and 40X pattern bolt actions.
A two-stage trigger with its own safety — Timney's 533 brings staged match control to Remington 700 and 40X actions, self-contained.
The Timney Two-Stage 533 with Safety fits Remington 700 and 40X pattern actions with a genuine two-stage pull adjustable from 1.5 to 3 lb, incorporating its own integrated safety lever. The staged press — smooth take-up to a defined wall, then a crisp break — gives precision shooters complete command of the shot's timing, while the adjustable range covers everything from deliberate benchwork to practical field weights.
Hand-assembled, calibrated and tested, the 533 installs as a direct replacement and carries Timney's long-standing reputation for pulls that never change character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 533 fit my Remington 700?
It fits Remington 700 and 40X pattern actions, which covers the great majority of 700-based rifles. The one thing worth checking is clearance: aftermarket chassis systems and replacement bottom metal sometimes sit tight around the trigger housing and safety. Compare the space in your stock before ordering if the rifle has been rebuilt.
What does the built-in safety mean for my rifle?
This version comes as a two-stage trigger with its own safety, so the trigger and safety are replaced as one assembly rather than reusing the factory safety. That keeps the operation self-contained and consistent with the new mechanism. After installation, work the safety and function-check the rifle carefully before loading it.
How does the two-stage pull compare to a single-stage Remington 700 trigger?
You get a defined first stage to take up while you settle, then a crisp second stage that releases the shot, adjustable from 1.5 to 3 lb. A single-stage unit like the Elite Hunter 517-V2 gives you one continuous pull instead, which some hunters prefer under time pressure. Two-stage tends to suit target and long-range work where you have time to hold at the wall.
What should I know before installation one?
Set the pull weight within the 1.5 to 3 lb range using Timney's own instructions, then check the sear engagement and safety function repeatedly before the rifle goes out. Bedding compound or paint left in the trigger cut-out can foul the housing, so make sure the inletting is clean.
