As a two-time F-Class Illinois State Champion, I want to express my utmost satisfaction with Kelbly’s custom rifle actions. I understand the importance of having reliable and high-performance equipment, and Kelbly’s has exceeded my expectations.
The tight tolerances and impeccable alignment contribute to shot-to-shot consistency which is crucial in F-Class competition. Whether engaging targets at varying distances or dealing with challenging wind conditions, my Kelbly’s- equipped rifle has consistently delivered exceptional performance.
I wholeheartedly endorse Kelbly’s actions for F-Class competition. The combination of precision craftsmanship, consistent accuracy, durability, and outstanding customer service make Kelbly’s a top choice for discerning shooters who demand the best from their equipment.
Thank you.

Dear Ian,
The rifle the Kelbly Team built was instrumental in helping me win the 2019 Minnesota Mid Range FTR Championship a couple weeks ago. From the initial conversation about the rifle build to discussions about replacement barrels, your team always took the time to address my questions to help me reach solid conclusions. I want to thank you for a great rifle and the time you’ve invested in helping me along the way.
Thanks,
Jay Johnson
Good morning Ian,
Just thought I’d let yall know January in an unsanctioned match I shot an HG agg of 1.230 @ 600yds, which would have been a record, this past Saturday I backed that with a 1.298 for a new pending heavy gun agg record! The Saturday before set highest score in 39 yrs at the Bullseye annual groundhog match , all using Kelbly actions polar and panda.

Just wanted to say thanks for a killer barrel! With virgin brass and very little load development, I shot it in the Camp Atterbury Long Range Regional. I ended up winning the regional with a 991-50x as well as setting the new high police national record at 1,000 with a 200-12x. Mike Plunket, also shooting a Kelbly rifle, won the overall F-TR.
Thanks again!

Thank you Kelbly’s for getting my actions to me on time.
Ryan chambered up the barrel and had the rifle bedded and ready for me in record time. I had very little load development time. But it did the job this weekend at grrc [harris mn]. Ended up winning the match with a rifle I’ve only had for a week. I couldn’t be more pleased with how smooth the panda is compared to my other customs.
I’ll be shooting the pandas from now on.
Thank’s again.

With your Panda F-Class action and X-Eater stock, I managed to win F-T/R, by two X’s!
Needless to say, as the match progressed and it appeared that I may be in contention to win it, a lot of the guys started asking questions about my beautiful rifle, which also shoots straight!
Thank you for all your help, your customer service, and for your great products!

Shooting in his first NBRSA 600 yard match, Mike Nagengast shot a record tying 147-5x on day two to come from mid pack to win the light gun score championship.
His self built 6mm Dasher features a Kelbly’s Atlas action mounted in a Kelbly’s 1M stock with a 28” Kreiger 1/8 barrel, Timney trigger, and a Nightforce 15-55x competition scope. His load was Bart’s new 105 gr bullets in Lapua based cases, CCI 450 primers and RL15 powder. He also shot high single target score, light gun, in the 1000 yd match with a 49-3x. Mike just joined NBRSA this year.
The National matches were held from June 8 thru June 12 at the Colorado Rifle Club in Byers Colorado.
Hello Ian,
I send a few photos from a successful hunt in Greenland. Muskox hunting, fox and hare.
Muskox – hunting distance 420m (460 yards) Fox – hunting distance 485m (530 yards) Hare – hunting distance 300m (330 yards)
The temperature fell to -30 ° C (-22 ° F) and Kelbly rifle 6.5×47 Lapua and scopes March 3-24×52 FFP worked without any problem. I am me and my clients very happy with your products – it’s the best I’ve ever used. I am honored to be able to use your rifles.
Regards,
Radek
I am 61 years old and decided to try my hand at long range bench rest.
Your rifle provided the attached results:
I fired 2 round to sight at 100yds, 5 sighters for the match , and the next 5 rounds produced a 3.158 group at 1000 yards.
I shot on April 25 in Match 7 at Cool Acres near Swainsboro Georgia to win the group, over the next closest competitor by only a few thousands of an inch. This was my first time to shoot competitively in an IBS match and actually joined that day before the match. I owe a great deal of thanks to Darrell Jones of DJ’s brass service for Hydraulically forming my dasher cases from Lapua gold box 6 BR. With Darrell’s help and others by showing me how to set up my rest and many other helpful hints, I look forward to a lot more fun with this sport.
I am sure there was a great deal of beginners luck involved here but I believe the rifle proved its capability, I just hope I can repeat my luck as the trigger puller.
