Looking at building a Proof barrel hunting rifle. Anyone here recommend a Kelby Atlas Action? I have first hand experience w Surgeon and Defiance! I just don’t want to be disappointed w a Kelby...

Man I love mine. Full nitride, deep fluting, cheap, I like the ability to add a larger rail if I want and I have never had any issues with the bolts coming lose. I like the trigger hangar and one of my favorite things is the mechanical ejection. When I really move the bolt I can shoot brass out, but usually I shoot bench or prone and just slide the bolt back enough to catch the brass in my off hand and then place it in the reloading box.
Smoothest action ive shot for sure. Switching triggers is a breeze. There was a problem with people who run bolt super hard busting off the mech ejector but that has since been beefed up couple years ago. Ive got over 5 barrels on mine and nvr busted it tho.
You wont be disappointed with any custom really.
As mentioned the 2 best reasons - price and mech ejector. I have a friend who is a dealer if you want his info pm me. Sub $1k no action touches it IMO.
