Kelbly Prometheus BR Benchrest Action
The Kelbly Prometheus BR is a purpose-built precision rifle action engineered specifically for short-range benchrest competition. Machined in North Lawrence, Ohio by Kelbly's Inc., this American-made steel action delivers competition-winning accuracy in an ultra-lightweight 29-ounce package—6 ounces lighter than the standard Prometheus while maintaining exceptional rigidity.
Precision Engineering for Competitive Shooters
Every Prometheus BR action features an integral MIL-SPEC Picatinny split rail that eliminates ring slippage while reducing overall weight. The split rail design gives you access to the most robust scope mounting options on the market without compromising the action's structural integrity.
The Black Nitride finish isn't just for looks—it increases bolt lubricity for smoother cycling and provides superior corrosion resistance in any shooting conditions.
Configurable to Your Shooting Style
Available in right bolt/left port (right microport) or left bolt/right port (left microport) configurations, the Prometheus BR accommodates both right and left-handed shooters. Choose from .223, PPC/ARC, or .308 bolt faces with a cone boltface design that aids reliable feeding of smaller cartridges. Select your preferred 75° or 90° bolt throw and finish with your choice of ball, teardrop, or tactical bolt knob.
Drop-In Compatibility
Designed to accept Remington 700-style triggers (without top safety) and fit any Rem 700 inlet chassis or stock. Pre-fit barrels install easily using the same headspace and tenon specs as all Kelbly steel actions—making barrel changes straightforward for competitive shooters who demand consistency.
