The trigger on my Rem model SS 700 was changed to a Timney. Very glad to do it. But I've had to get it worked on 2 - 3 times due to closing the bolt / moving the safety forward - results in the gun firing. No rounds have ever gone off. But since it's been fixed 3 times, I'm getting a little twitchy about it. The gun is a sub-moa rifle with everything I poke in it and all things fall dead when it goes off.

Any ideas? Should I just cut my losses and go get another 270, another trigger, etc;???

you have it adjusted wrong - set it for more sear engagement

Agree with Butch, more sear engagement.

Purchase/Install a Jewell & throw the aluminum housing POS Timney in the trash.

I've used plenty of the Timney POS aluminum triggers. Even the cheaper bold triggers. Nothing wrong with them in my opinion. But like the others said it sounds like it is adjusted wrong.

Nothing wrong with a Jewel. Hard to find and twice as much $$.

You can't set a hunting trigger to benchrest levels.

I vote sear adjustment as well. All 3 bolt actioned rifles with Timney's I bought weren't set up properly. One was way off. Read your instructions for the trigger. If you need help, call Timney. These are some great triggers when set up properly and are warranted for life. http://www.timneytriggers.com/page/warranty-info/

I too have used Timney triggers for too long a time under rugged conditions to condemn them. the only triggers that seem to constantly give hunters a problem are Jewells.
They may be great for target shooters but in dirty or wet, salty and cold conditions they are way to fragile.

All my Model 70 Winchester target rifles have Jewells on them, none of my hunting rifles do. The ones with after market triggers, P-14 Enfields and 98 Mausers, all have Dayton Traisters, and they have never given me a problem even after weeks and weeks of bouncing around in an African hunting car.

Well, I have a couple Jewells on my hunting Remingtons and a couple on my BR rigs. I mostly use and prefer a Shilen trigger on my hunting Remingtons. On my Mausers and Enfield custom hunting rifles I have Timney, Recknagel, and Blackburn. Sold my Kenyon and Canjars. The Kenyon and Canjars are excellent. Only problems I've had trouble with were factory Remington triggers that I adjusted without the proper knowledge and skill. I decided the customs were better than me fooling with them.

Thanks for the input folks !

I'm going to call Timney today and see what I can find out.

Won't hurt to see if I can send it to them and have it checked.

Appreciate it very much!

Timneys are my favorite and any time I replace a trigger, I go with a Timney.

I have 4 or 5 Timney's and about the same of spec-techs no trouble with any of them

Once adjusted properly, Timmney's trigger has never given me a problem. Just curious any input on Huber trigger especially for the Rem 700.

No problems with Timney's. Installed them on Ruger RSM .458Lott and a Remington 700 .416Rem. Both made multiple trips to Africa and were used on numerous DG hunts including Buff, Lion, Hippo and Ele.

IMO, The Timney is as good a trigger as you can have on a hunting rifle..They are durable, and Ive never had a problem with one..Since they are a hunting trigger you may have had them tuned to bench rest poundage, that probably won't work as they are made to operate at 2.5 to 4 lbs and break clean..If Im reading between the lines here, your a after a benchrest 1.5 trigger...Having a Timney worked on like that is a gunsmiths delima and only a rank amateur would even attempt such a fallacy IMO...

I suspect your a Texas Sendero Aggie, and want a set up to shoot a mile down a South Texas Sendero, I have known many of that breed! many of which are family, But even at that, a 2.5 Lb. Timney will work on the largest bucks at the great distances of the Golden Triangle!!

YOur best fix is to toss the modified Timney as it probably has no sear material left, and getcha a new Timney, set it at 2.5 and learn to live with it and hope your smithy stayed off the bolt cocking piece..but that's just my fix and a mere suggestion..Good hunting.

All adjustable hunting rifle triggers installed in my shop have to pass the "BONK" test. I "bonk" the "finished and adjusted" barreled action with a 4 ounce plastic hammer from all directions. If the action goes off at any time, it gets more sear engagement. YMMV.
