Description
The Ruger 10/22 is one of the most upgraded rimfires on the planet, and the trigger is usually the first thing owners want to fix. Timney's Calvin Elite kit tackles that head on with a complete drop-in assembly that swaps in place of your factory trigger group. Push out the two action pins, drop it in, and you're done. No fitting, no filing, no gunsmith required.
What Sets the Calvin Elite 10/22 Trigger Apart
The heart of this kit is a one-piece housing machined from 6061-T6 aircraft grade billet aluminum, finished in black. The trigger, sear, and hammer are wire EDM cut and heat treated steel, which is the kind of precision work that gives you a clean, repeatable break every single time. From the factory it's set between 1.5 and 2 pounds with no creep, a huge step up from the mushy stock pull that most 10/22 owners know all too well. That lighter, crisper break is where accuracy gains really show up, whether you're punching paper or knocking down small targets at distance.
Four Red Shoes to Match Your Finger
Where the Calvin Elite earns its name is customization. The kit ships with four different red trigger shoes: curved, flat, heeled, and knurled. Beyond just swapping the shape, each shoe adjusts for length of pull, cast, and height, so you can tune the contact point to your exact hand and shooting style. All the tools you need for fitting and adjusting are included in the box, so there's no hunting around for the right hex wrench.
Built for the Range and Small Bore Work
Timney also threw in a couple of ergonomic touches that 10/22 shooters appreciate. An extended magazine release lets you drop mags with a single finger, and an auto bolt release simplifies loading. It's a proven upgrade that fits the whole 10/22 family, from the Carbine and Sporter to the Takedown, Target, and Tactical models. Made in the USA and backed by Timney's reputation, this is a set-it-and-shoot piece that turns a good plinker into a genuinely precise rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Timney Ruger 10/22 trigger require a gunsmith to install?
No, this is a complete drop-in assembly designed for a tool-light install at home. You push out the two factory action pins, lift out the old trigger group, and drop the Timney in its place. Most people have it done in a few minutes with no fitting or filing.
What pull weight does this Calvin Elite trigger come set at?
It arrives from the factory set between 1.5 and 2 pounds with no creep. That's a big improvement over the heavier, spongier stock 10/22 trigger. It's ready to shoot right out of the box with no adjustment needed.
What are the four red shoes for?
The kit includes curved, flat, heeled, and knurled shoe options so you can pick the shape that feels best under your finger. Each one also adjusts for length of pull, cast, and height, letting you fine-tune the contact point to your hand and shooting position. All the tools for swapping and adjusting them come in the box.
Will this trigger fit my specific 10/22 model?
It's built for the Ruger 10/22 platform and works across the lineup, including the Carbine, Sporter, Compact, Lite, Target, Tactical, and Takedown models. If your rifle is a standard 10/22, this drops right in. It also adds a Timney extended magazine release and auto bolt release along the way.
