Description
The Timney M700 Calvin Elite Pro Two-Stage is the trigger you reach for when your rifle is capable of more than the factory setup lets you deliver. Built for precision and long-range work on the Remington 700 footprint, it gives you a light, predictable first stage to prep against and a clean, defined wall for the second stage. That two-stage feel is the whole point here, letting you take up the slack, settle, and break the shot without any guesswork. Total pull weight ranges from 6 ounces up to 1.5 pounds, with the first stage set at 2 ounces (adjustable 1 to 3 ounces) and the second stage set at 8 ounces (adjustable from 4 ounces to 1.25 pounds).
Why the M700 CE Pro Stands Apart
This version comes standard without a bolt stop release, which makes it a genuinely easy fit for clone action M700 builds where you don't want to fuss with the bolt release lever. It also carries the classic Calvin Elite adjustable trigger shoes, so you can move the shoe for reach, height, and even a bit of cast to get your finger sitting exactly where it should. The Calvin Elite line is named for Calvin Motley, Timney's longtime design mind behind a whole list of well-regarded triggers, and the Pro Two-Stage sits at the top of that family.
Building and Tuning the M700 Calvin Elite Pro
Installation on a Remington 700 pattern rifle is a job most folks can handle at the bench: knock out the two pins, drop the trigger in, replace the pins, and confirm function before you shoot. Timney lists a .050 Allen wrench for the first stage and a 5/64 wrench for the second, so keep those handy when you sit down to set it. It drops cleanly into factory Rem 700s as well as clones like the Bergara B-14 and B-14R and plenty of custom actions. Hand-assembled, tested, and calibrated in the USA, it's backed by Timney's lifetime warranty, so you're buying a part meant to outlast the rifle it goes in.
Whether you're running a bench gun, a PRS setup, or a dedicated varmint rig, this is the kind of upgrade you feel on the very first break.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the M700 Calvin Elite Pro fit my Remington 700 and its clones?
Yes. It's built for the Remington 700 footprint, so it drops into factory Rem 700s along with popular clones like the Bergara B-14 and B-14R and many custom actions. Keep in mind this Pro version ships without a bolt stop release, which is what makes it so clean to install in clone action builds.
How light can I set this Calvin Elite Pro two-stage trigger?
Total pull weight adjusts from 6 ounces up to 1.5 pounds. The first stage comes set at 2 ounces and adjusts between 1 and 3 ounces, while the second stage is set at 8 ounces and adjusts from 4 ounces up to 1.25 pounds. That range covers everything from ultra-light bench work to a firmer field setting.
Do I need a gunsmith to install the M700 CE Pro?
Most people handle this one at home. It's a matter of removing the two trigger pins, dropping in the new trigger, and reinstalling the pins, then checking function before you shoot. Timney calls for a .050 Allen wrench for first stage adjustment and a 5/64 wrench for the second stage when you're ready to tune it.
What makes the Calvin Elite adjustable shoe worth it?
The adjustable trigger shoe lets you fine-tune finger placement by changing reach, height, and even a bit of cast. That means you can position the shoe exactly where your finger naturally lands for a more consistent, repeatable break. For precision and long-range shooting, that kind of fit really does pay off downrange.
