Unlock Unrivaled Precision: The Timney Triggers 502B Benchrest Trigger for Remington 700

Are you a dedicated benchrest competitor, a long-range shooting enthusiast, or a precision rifle builder who demands the absolute pinnacle of performance from your Remington 700? If your goal is to shrink group sizes, eliminate human error from your shot process, and achieve consistent, repeatable accuracy, then upgrading your rifle's trigger is not just an option—it's a fundamental necessity. The standard factory trigger, while functional, often lacks the crispness, the ultra-light pull, and the fine-tuning capabilities required for truly exceptional marksmanship. This is where the Timney Triggers 502B Benchrest Trigger emerges as the definitive solution, engineered specifically to elevate your Remington 700 to its highest potential.

Why a Dedicated Benchrest Trigger is Crucial for Ultimate Accuracy

For shooters who engage in competitive benchrest shooting or who strive for the tightest possible groups at extended ranges, the trigger is arguably the most critical interface between the shooter and the firearm. A heavy, gritty, or inconsistent trigger pull can introduce subtle but significant movement into the rifle just before the shot breaks, sabotaging even the most perfectly executed sight picture and hold. This leads to frustrating "flyers" and larger group dispersions.

The problem that the Timney Triggers 502B solves is the inherent limitation of stock triggers in delivering the light, crisp, and predictable break that allows a shooter to focus entirely on wind, elevation, and target acquisition. It removes the uncertainty from the moment of ignition, transforming your rifle into a finely tuned instrument of precision. Imagine a trigger so light and so clean that it feels like a thought, not a physical action, allowing for complete concentration on the target. This trigger provides just that.

Key Features Engineered for Uncompromising Performance

The Timney Triggers 502B Benchrest Trigger is not just an upgrade; it's a specialized tool built from the ground up for extreme accuracy demands. Here’s a breakdown of its standout features and why they matter to the precision shooter:

• Single-Stage Design: Unlike two-stage triggers that feature a "take-up" or "slack" before hitting a wall and then breaking, a single-stage trigger offers a direct, immediate pull from rest to break. For benchrest and precision shooting, this direct engagement provides an unadulterated feel, allowing the shooter to anticipate the exact moment of firing with unparalleled precision. There’s no ambiguity, just a clean, swift break that minimizes rifle disturbance. This direct feedback loop is essential for consistent shot timing and minimal anticipation.
• Ultra-Light, Adjustable Draw Weight (3-6 oz): This is perhaps the most defining characteristic of a dedicated benchrest trigger. A pull weight measured in ounces, not pounds, drastically reduces the force required to actuate the trigger.
  • Reduced Muscle Strain: Less force means less muscle engagement, translating to less potential for sympathetic muscle movement or tremor during the crucial last moments before the shot.
  • Enhanced Feel and Control: The incredibly light pull allows for a delicate, almost subconscious trigger press, promoting smooth follow-through and preventing any jerking motion.
  • Customization: The 3-6 oz range allows the shooter to fine-tune the pull to their exact preference, catering to individual shooting styles and competitive rules, ensuring optimal comfort and performance.
• No Safety or Bolt Stop: This feature is a clear signal that the Timney 502B is designed purely for competition and specialized precision applications where every ounce of unnecessary weight and complexity is shed for maximum performance.
  • Uninterrupted Flow: For a benchrest shooter, the focus is solely on the shot process. Removing the safety and bolt stop simplifies the mechanism, removing potential points of failure or inadvertent engagement during a critical shot.
  • Dedicated Application: This design is ideal for rifles that are primarily used in a controlled, competitive environment, where safety protocols are managed by the shooter and range officials, allowing for a pure, uncompromised trigger action. It's built for those who prioritize absolute reliability and minimalist function during high-stakes shooting.
• Fully Adjustable Pull Weight and Overtravel: The ability to customize your trigger's feel is paramount for personalizing your shooting experience and optimizing performance.
  • Pull Weight: As mentioned, the 3-6 oz range can be precisely set to match individual preference or competition requirements.
  • Overtravel: This refers to the distance the trigger shoe continues to move rearward after the firing pin has been released. Minimizing overtravel is crucial as it prevents the shooter from inadvertently "pulling through" the shot, which can introduce instability. A properly adjusted trigger with minimal overtravel provides a clean, definitive break and immediate reset, facilitating faster follow-up shots if needed, though primarily aiding in consistent single shots for benchrest.
• Ergonomic Curved Trigger Shoe: The traditional curved design provides a natural, comfortable resting place for the pad of the finger. This promotes consistent finger placement and leverage, which is vital for a smooth, straight-back trigger pull, reducing the likelihood of lateral movement that could affect shot placement.
• Robust Steel with Aluminum Housing Construction: Durability and reliability are non-negotiable. The combination of high-grade steel for critical internal components and a lightweight, yet strong, aluminum housing ensures that this trigger will withstand the rigors of competitive shooting and provide consistent performance for years to come. This blend of materials guarantees both precision and longevity.
• Distinctive Purple/Black Finish: Beyond its functional superiority, the Timney 502B features a striking purple and black finish. This not only adds a unique aesthetic to your custom Remington 700 build but also signifies the specialized nature and premium quality inherent in Timney's benchrest line. It's a visual cue of precision engineering.
