I heard the Timneys that were in the new 700s were Non adjustable…… any truth to that or was that a lie?
Yes and no. Most models have the Timney Impact 700 which is a non-adjustable, 3 - 4 pound trigger. From a manufacture's standpoint that's probably the best option for $600 - $1000 hunting rifles. The 700 Alpha 1 and the 700 Police models have Timney Elite Hunter triggers that some at 3 pounds but which are adjustable for pull weight and over travel.
My Alpha 1 trigger was beautiful, right out of the box, no discernible creep or over travel and as light as anyone in their right mind would want a trigger on a hunting rifle. I have adjusted it down a bit (mainly just so I could say I did and be like the cool kids) and will use it that way between now and next hunting season for load development/range time. If I find my beat up old fingers are okay with it like that I'll leave it. I suspect, however, that I will be returning it to more like it was originally.
