Kelbly actions

[WKR]

Anyone else excited about the new 75 degree bolts they released? Ordered 2 today for my nanooks.
Has anyone here tried one yet? I'm sure the feel of the cock on open with a 15 degree shorter throw will take some getting used to but having that extra room between the bolt handle and scope will be very nice. Especially with the one I have a NX8 on.

Love to see the lightweight sub 90 degree options that are coming out

Can you put a 75° bolt in a 90° action body? No worry of lugs not properly sitting on the action body's 90° abutments?

Yup its still a 2 lug action so you can retrofit the new bolt into your old action. Defiance and impact are doing the same thing now too

Hmmmm I saw this option on new actions when perusing their site the other night. Didn’t know it was an option to retrofit existing actions.

I wonder if bat is the same. My Vesper short is 75° and would love to have 75° on my bumblebee.

I know for a fact that all new bumblebee sales will come with a 75 degree bolt, heard that from Bruce himself.. it would be worth giving them a call to see if you can get one.

While your at it ask them if they can make one for my vampire please

I think I read some where at least one of the action companies listed wanted you to send in your action so they could headspace etc so they would not just send you a bolt. Can’t remember which one so may check that for those interested.

I have purchased interchangeable bolt bodies from bat for the igniter and bumblebee that all headspaced perfectly. They do a good job of holding tolerances.

Same with kelbly
I dont think he was talking about the Bat machine actions, it was a different manufacturer that was mentioned and he's right because I remember reading the same thing but can't remember if it was impact or defiance that wants the receiver back to match a bolt up with. I think it was Defiance but im not positive.

Defiance would be my guess as well. They couldn't hold nominal headspace on their ruckus tenacity and anti lines when they first released them. They get their poop in a group eventually.
