Side Bolt Release and Canjar for 700

Folks,
Just purchased a Canjar set trigger for a Remington 700.
I have a VSSF II 22-250 that I want to have the trigger installed. The trigger has a safety but no bolt release.
I haven't received the Canjar yet, but if I have a reputable Gunsmith install the trigger what do I do about the bolt release? Is there a way to release it or do I need to have a side bolt release milled in and installed. I beg your pardon for the long post. Thank you in advance for your time, help and consideration. Have a nice weekend.

Just use a small flat screwdriver, or other similar object. Press the front of the bolt stop lever down( just to the left of the bolt) while pulling the bolt out.
 
The Rem 600 never had a bolt release and you removed the bolt the same way as mentioned above.
 
I had a bare 700 action that I'd bought before Remington went out of business - I'd waited so long to decide what to use it for that factory bolt stops & springs were no longer available. When I found that LRI had designed a very nice-looking side bolt release, I decided to send the action up to Chad for the installation of his bolt stop. I'd been truing 700 actions in my lathe for years, but after I'd watched his video where he showcased his action truing program on the new 5-axis CNC machining center he'd just bought, and after I'd called to check dealer pricing on having the bolt stop done, I thought why not treat myself by letting them do the tier 1 accuracy job & fit a PTG custom bolt that I'd bought for the action, to include having them do spiral fluting on the bolt body. They asked if I was going to CeraKote it, and if so, they'd diamond hone the bolt bore of the action to give adequate clearance. I sent the action & bolt off to them, and a week to 10 days later, it came back. I was so impressed with the CNC machine work & how nice the bolt fluting looked that I spent quite a bit of time just handling & looking it over before I finally did a barrel for it and finished building the rifle as a 20 Tactical.
While it's true that I could've bought a Zermatt Origin action for about what I've got invested in this 700, I've never regretted having LRI do the work on it, and besides, I already had it & the PTG bolt in hand...
