    Kelbly's Atlas Tactical

    I own an Atlas Tactical, as well as a Bighorn TL3. Out of the box, the Bighorn is smoother and has a lighter bolt lift. However, the Atlas continues to get even slicker with use. Let's be honest, we're talking about very minor differences. The Atlas is a steal at the asking price IMHO. It is one...

    DLC- bolt only or action and bolt?

    If you are ordering directly from Bighorn, the DLC is a no-cost option. If you are sending an action in to Bighorn for DLC, the cost is $75, and they are stating a 4-6 week turn-around time.

    Best action for a Dasher?

    Strong ejector spring is mashing the side of the case mouth against the action on extraction I would figure.

    Atlas Tactical Quality

    They are great actions, built by one of the best companies out there. Add to that the fact they have recently lowered the cost of their actions (remarkable in this day and age), they are likely the most bang for the buck out there. I should add that I have one, albeit for a 223, and have shot...

    The smoothest action.

    if you are looking essentially for a benchrest action, then look no further than a Borden Mountaineer action with PVD coding. For all intents and purposes, it is a benchrest action disguising itself as a Remington 700 footprint tactical action. You will be hard-pressed to find another action...

    Single loading Tikka T3 223 with AICS Magazines

    Yes. I use a sled which was 3d printed and sits in the magazine. Works perfectly.

    T3x bolt lift? (choices for kids build)

    For a factory rifle, the Tikka is about as good as you're going to find. It has a pretty light bolt lift, with very smooth operation. I have a couple of Tikka 223 which I have my kids shoot, and they love them.

    Stabilizing 69gr .223 in 1:9 twist barrel

    You may have a difficult time perceiving it at that distance. However, you should have no issue stabilizing the 69 bthp bullet out of your 1:9 barrel. You could likely stabilize the 75 bthp as well.
