This is primarily some observations about the Timney HIT triggers for the remington 700 series of actions and/or clones.

I normally run Bix N Andy Tacsport pros, but outfitting every single rifle with those and backups can get pretty pricey pretty fast. I happened to see EU had them for an INSANELY low price last year, so I picked up 3 of them.


Rifle setup is as follows:

Left Hand impact 737 action in 308
Timney HIT 8 oz trigger
various chassis to include: Vision Pro, Manners MCS-PRS-TCS, ACC Chassis
308 ammo specs: Peterson Brass, Varget, Sierra 177 SMK-CN at 2600 FPS


I received the Timney HIT triggers from EU, and installed one in my tac class rig. Trigger felt exceptionally good on dryfire, and I hit the buttstock on the ground to make sure it was drop safe.

After installation, I put approximately 200 rounds down the gun, no issues. After this practice session I threw the rifle back into the safe. Few weeks later, took it out to make sure everything was good, went to the range, and first 10-15 rounds were fine. After that, I ran the bolt, and nothing. Trigger was completely dead. I went to lift the bolt and the gun went off. Somehow the sear engagement was messed up. ended the range session, went home, and disassembled the gun. The trigger's pins that were holding the internals together had completely egged out, or I didn't notice they were out of spec on installation. The trigger basically fell apart.

I contacted Timney support and they were helpful, although with an air of not believing me. I had a new trigger and RMA from them in about 24 hours, delivered 2 days later which was cool. Installed the new trigger, everything seemed fine and to spec.

Ran a 1 day match with it, no issues, threw it in the safe after cleaning the rifle (I didn't clean the trigger here).

two weeks before the box canyon suppressor match, pull the rifle out, put about 100 rounds down it. I'm sitting at ow about 300 rounds on the new trigger sent to me. I get to box canyon, sight in, and run the gun. Day 2 on the last stage, trigger completely dies again. Dead, cant manipulate it, doesn't hold the firing pin cocked, nada. I look up cleaning instructions and do what Timney recommends. It brings it back to life.

After this, I put another 200-300 rounds on the gun, everything seems fine. PRS skills stage at the most recent match, it completely dies on me when I close the bolt. Nothing. Nada. I knew this was a dangerous situation so I make sure I have a good berm behind my target, and lift the bolt. Firing pin goes forward and that's it. I get a stage DQ (rightfully so) for an equipment malfunction. Take the trigger out, throw a new timney HIT in I had as a spare, and finish out the day.

What I want to know is this:

Has anyone else had these issues with Timney HITS in impacts or other guns with trigger hangers? Both my smith and a buddy who I shoot PRS with run Timney hits, in impacts, and never have seen this. I've basically now gone through 3 triggers and had serious malfunctions. I got these triggers from Eurooptic had a crazy good sale on them but i'm tempted to ditch them and sell them cheap to avoid any of this nonsense anymore.

The rifle is a Bergara b14 hunter, I used it hunting for many years, it took rain, fog, snow amd blizzards. After an hunt in rough weather i always cleaned the bore but I have to admit i never babied it. Since I go hunting at least 30 times per year and i take one animal more or less everytime, sometimes hunting 3 times a week during autumn and winter, of course it was impossible to clean the bore to bare metal everytime i shot. I preferred to keep accuracy and POI consistent keeping the barrel fouled. I stored it always in a humidity controlled room. There is absolutely no surface rust, even where the finish of the rifle went totally off for rubbing against the backpack or against my body. It has shot more or less 500 .308 win factory rounds and it is still very accurate, shooting easily 0.3 MOA with a couple factory loads.

After all these years i decided to clean the bore to bare metal since this rifle is going to retire for a while and it will be used only occasionally from now on.

I found this spot with what looks like pitting/corrosion more or less 15 inches from the chamber (it is a 22 inch barrel). There are a few other spots looking like this but smaller than this one in the same area of the bore. The rifling looks good in the rest of the bore and it wasn't difficult at all to clean all the fouling and copper.

I am not worried about this because the rifle shoots very well and this spots are not located in the most critical portion of the bore but i am curious about what could have caused this. It is a button rifled barrel and it was the first time i borescoped it.

Thanks for the input guys!

Out of curiosity, anyone shooting one of these rifles? The newest version, appears they have changed a few things on them. Accuracy, stock fitment, loose folded/unfolded(the old ones were wobbly and Rugged didn't GAF). I had a couple older ones, were ok but just like a fat chick-was a good idea at the time--

The 18095 model to be specific, not, get a prefit, Origin, etc. etc.

Sunday night, Jamie White's body was found in the parking lot of his apartment in Austin, the victim of an apparent homicide. He was a fearless attack journalist for Alex Jones and InfoWars.

There's no suspects or much detail at this point. White was vocal about Austin's DA and Soros plant, Jose Garza.

Own an 338 RPR since 2019. Over 1200 rounds thru it, accuracy still sub MOA however I am waiting for the barrel's final demise. I see LRI offers a barrel and the recommended tool. Anyone else? Patriot Valley Arms makes a prefit but the RPR receiver is not configurable (AI, SAVAGE among others are available.

My preference is to perform the swap. Already familiar with AI AE and AT.

Thank you

Gathering data on my 18" AR. 223 wylde, Leupold 3.5-10, Frontier 75gr. ammunition.

Everything's great at 100, 200, 300, and 400. Even turned in a 2.5 inch 3 shot group at 400.

However, at 500, the wheels fall off. The group opens up to 7 or 8 inches and is offset about 1.5moa to the right. i should ad that I'm not dialing, simply holding for elevation and windage using the reticle (dots or hashes every 2 moa - lepould ts 32 moa or something like that is the name of the reticle.)

While the ammunition is top tier, pretty sure that's not it.
Not dialing on the scope so tracking shouldn't be it.
Scope's mounted in a LaRue mount, properly torqued.
Adjusted parallax at each distance.
Didn't feel like fundamentals were off.

It has to be me, otherwise I feel like I'd see a decline in performance before "falling apart" between 400 and 500. Please give me a list of things to check tomorrow.

Thanks in Advance, and God bless America.
