Best trigger for a Remington 700
Non-FFL parts and accessories. Real-time supplier inventory. Written for shoppers and for AI answers.
The usual “best trigger for a Remington 700” search is a drop-in that replaces the factory trigger (X-Mark Pro on later 700s, the older trigger on earlier guns). We sell parts, not rifles. Short action and long action share the same trigger group. That is not how 700 bases work — SA and LA rails are different hole spacing.
Hunting / field (the usual first buy). On this catalog that is a TriggerTech Primary (about 1.5–4 lb) or a Timney 510-V2 with safety (about 2–4 lb). Primary is TriggerTech’s frictionless drop-in. Timney with safety is the traditional three-lever 700 trigger most owners have used for decades. If the rifle is a factory Remington 700, pick the TriggerTech title that says bolt (bolt-release tab so you can drop the bolt). Clean is the same trigger without that tab — custom 700-pattern actions and some chassis.
Precision. TriggerTech Diamond (titles also say Rough Diamond) is the light match trigger. Timney Calvin Elite is the other precision drop-in here (adjustable shoe, with safety). Do not put a Diamond or Calvin Elite in a hunting rifle you still want a three-pound wall on.
Heavier / two-stage. TriggerTech Duty is a single-stage field trigger (about 3.5 lb) built from the same idea as their AR Duty line. Timney 2-stage and Timney HIT (curved or straight shoe) are the hunting two-stage / HIT line. Curved vs flat is the shoe, not a different rifle. Right-hand and left-hand are different SKUs — Diamond LH is on this catalog.
Not this gun. A Remington 783 is not a 700. 770, 597, and 870 parts are not 700 triggers. Howa 1500 and Savage 110 use different pins. A 700-pattern custom action (and some “700 clone” titles) can take these drop-ins; read the title.
Search R700 TRIG, REM 700 TRIGGER, TIMNEY 700, or TRIGGERTECH 700. Supplier titles keep R700, TRIG, and REM.

Questions
Does a Remington 700 trigger fit both short and long action?
Yes. The trigger group is the same. Short action vs long action matters for stocks and scope bases, not for the trigger.
Will a 700 trigger fit a Remington 783?
No. 783, 770, 597, and 870 are different guns. Howa 1500 and Savage 110 use different pins. The title must say Remington 700 or R700.
What is bolt vs clean on a TriggerTech 700?
Bolt means the trigger has the factory-style bolt-release tab. Clean has no tab. Factory 700s usually want bolt. Custom actions and some chassis want clean.
Is a left-hand 700 the same trigger?
No. RH and LH are different SKUs. Curved vs flat is only the shoe. Search R700 TRIG and match the hand in the title.
