    Kelby's Prometheus Action

    The bolt is identical to an Atlas or any other Kelbly action. It has a 24# spring for ultimate accuracy and ignition.

    Kelby's Prometheus Action

    The knob at the end is just shorter. The rod is the same length, so you can still get your fingers between the stock and the bolt handle.

    Kelby's Prometheus Action

    Are Defiance actions really this hard to run in dirty conditions?

    Pre-Fit Barrels for Kelbly's

    I see this a lot now and that is people asking for pre-fit barrels. Kelbly's has held our headspace tolerance within .001" since the early 90's. Our actions have always had interchangeable "pre-fit" barrels for them. Our dealers all over the world can...
