The Timney Calvin Elite Custom 520CE-A is an adjustable single-stage match trigger with safety for Remington 700 and 40X pattern bolt actions.
Timney's master-grade 700 trigger — the Calvin Elite Custom 520CE-A adjusts from 8 oz (225 g) and fits itself to your finger.
The Timney Calvin Elite Custom 520CE-A sits at the top of the company's Remington 700/40X line: a single-stage match trigger adjustable from a feather-light 8 oz (225 g) up to 2.5 lb (1.1 kg), with an integrated safety and a shoe adjustable for reach and position. Designed by trigger maker Calvin Motley, its break is the Calvin Elite signature — instantaneous and glass-clean, with nothing felt before and nothing after.
This is equipment for benchrest rifles, F-class rigs and precision builds where the trigger is treated as seriously as the barrel. Hand-built and individually tested before it ships.
A direct replacement for Remington 700 and 40X pattern actions. Confirm clearance with aftermarket chassis or bottom metal before ordering, as fit is tighter in some precision chassis systems. Settings below 1 lb (455 g) belong on dedicated match rifles — set the trigger up, then verify every safety function rigorously, including bolt-slam and safety-lever checks, before live fire.

£5 tracked UK delivery on every order via Royal Mail Tracked 24. Our products are ordered in from the manufacturer rather than held in UK stock, so please allow 7 to 10 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays) from the date of your order for it to reach you. Tracking details are emailed on dispatch. UK delivery only.
You have 30 days from receiving your order to cancel it for any reason, then 14 days to send it back unused and in its original packaging. Faulty, damaged or incorrect items are replaced or refunded and we cover reasonable return postage. Refunds go back to your original payment method within 14 days of receiving the return.
It suits Remington 700 and 40X pattern actions and installs in place of the factory trigger assembly. Because it includes its own safety, the housing is a little different from a bare trigger, so check clearance in aftermarket chassis systems and bottom metal before ordering. On a standard sporter stock it is a routine swap.
It adjusts from 8 oz (225 g) right up to 2.5 lb (1.1 kg), which is a very wide range and takes in weights well below anything a factory 700 trigger offers. The lowest settings are match territory and demand disciplined handling; the upper end is closer to a normal target weight. Set it where your shooting genuinely needs it rather than as low as it will go.
The shoe can be moved for reach and position, so you can bring the face to your finger instead of stretching or rolling your hand to meet it. On a bench or in a chassis where your grip is fixed, that small adjustment makes repeatable finger placement much easier. It is the main reason to choose the Calvin Elite over a plainer unit in <a href="/collections/remington-700-triggers">the Remington 700 range</a>.
Work through Timney's own instructions, make small changes and re-test the safety and sear after each one; a very light trigger leaves no margin for a sloppy setup. Give the trigger inletting a clean before fitting, as bedding compound often intrudes. Our <a href="/blogs/buying-guides/remington-700-trigger-upgrade-guide">Remington 700 trigger upgrade guide</a> covers the sequence in more detail.
