KELBLY need no introduction to the precision fraternity, with rifles for bench-rest, F-Class, and Varminting. These are true custom arms of highest quality, proven in international competition. We stock the superb Kelbly BR triggers, and usually have some Stolle actions in stock.

Kelbly's history

In 1969, Ralph Stolle, an active benchrest competitor, designed and built an unlimited steel action that he called the Stolle Grizzly. It was a round action, over 14 inches in length, 1.700 in diameter, with a blued finish. He built somewhere between 25 and 30 of them, mostly for unlimited bag guns. In 1970-71, Stolle manufactured the first aluminum Panda action, which was 11 inches in length with a long barrel thread area. Stolle suffered a heart attack in 1979, and moved to North Lawrence a year later. In 1981 he produced his first actions at Kelbly's facility. Production has come a long way since. Today, Kelbly's is averaging over 500 actions yearly with 30% sold to overseas customers. Benchrest is about 70% of our business, with the rest split up between hunting, Palma and others.
George Kelbly and his 3 sons, George Jr., Jim, Michael and 8 full time employees continue making precision benchrest firearms today.
