The Timney Calvin Elite is a complete single-stage drop-in trigger assembly for the Ruger 10/22, replacing the factory trigger-guard group entirely.
Timney's flagship single-stage, scaled to the 10/22 — the Calvin Elite makes the classic rimfire feel custom-built.
The Timney Calvin Elite for the Ruger 10/22 (1022CE) is a complete drop-in trigger assembly carrying the flagship Calvin Elite single-stage pull: light, glass-crisp and repeatable, designed by trigger maker Calvin Motley. Because it replaces the entire trigger group, the unit arrives fully calibrated — no fitting, no tuning, no variables.
The 10/22's accuracy potential routinely outruns its factory trigger; the Calvin Elite removes that ceiling. For rimfire sporters, NRL22 trainers and box-stock classics alike, it is among the most transformative upgrades the platform can take.
Key Features
- Flagship single-stage break — light, crisp, repeatable

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this drop into my Ruger 10/22?
Yes, it's a complete replacement for the 10/22 factory trigger assembly, so the original unit comes out as a whole and this takes its place. That keeps installation simple and avoids working on individual sear components. If your rifle is a 10/22 pattern clone rather than a genuine Ruger, contact us to check first.
What do you get from a full assembly rather than a tuning kit?
Because the housing, sear and shoe are all supplied together and set up as a unit, the result doesn't depend on how well the original parts have worn. It's the Calvin Elite 1022CE, made in the USA, and it's a single-stage design that breaks in one movement. That suits general shooting and plinking as well as target work.
Can the trigger shoe be moved to suit me?
The Calvin Elite shoe adjusts for reach and position, so you can bring it closer or further away and shift it to line up with your finger. That's worth taking time over, since a shoe in the wrong place undoes much of the benefit of a good trigger. Function-check the rifle carefully once you've settled on a position.
Should I pick this or the two-stage version?
This single-stage version is the simpler feel: press and it breaks. The two-stage Calvin Elite adds a take-up stage and a wall, which suits deliberate target shooting. Both are complete assemblies and need no extra parts.
