I've just installed a Timney Calvin Elite 2-stage trigger on my Remington 700 (which was quick and easy to do) but am having trouble with the actual setting of the trigger. The version i received was the 8oz/16oz (first/second stage respectively) but found that I couldn't feel the first stage at all and just the pull of the trigger. I'm more used to ~2.5lbs so I increased the trigger pull according to the instructions.
After adjusting trigger pull, I dry fired a few more times and still cannot feel the first stage. At the moment it feels more similar to a single stage trigger with a lot of flop. I haven't touched the other two screws yet as I'm not 100% on what they do (an annotated diagram would have helped).
Does anyone here use a Calvin Elite 2-stage trigger and have any experience in setting this up? The only instructions for "fettling" I can find are related exclusively to the single stage Calvin Elite.
FYI - I'm based in the UK so it's a bit expensive to ship the trigger back to Timney and/or place phone calls to them. I've e-mailed them for tech support and am currently awaiting feedback but I'd like to see if other people are having the same trouble as I am.
