Rings for a Kelblys Atlas action.

[NV220swift]

So I currently have the 20moa rail on my Kelblys Atlas action and was wondering if anyone has used a set of one piece base and rings like Talleys or Hawkins hybrid. Finding ones that will fit seem to be a challenge. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't understand what the issue is. I have a Kelbly's long action receiver and have used both Hawkins and currently ARC rings with no issues?

I have used them on many other actions like this one below… did you contact hawkins? They make them for your action

What is your reasoning for NOT wanting to use the Picatinny rail and correct rings? Saving 2-4oz?

Thanks for the info, I was under the impression that the Kelblys Atlas screw spacing was differnt then a standard Rem 700 and noticed neither company offers one piece base and rings just for the Kelblys, so I was seeing if anyone new which size would work on their actions.

I've always just been a bigger fan of the one piece base and rings especially on my hunting guns, so was just seeing what options were out there people have used.

Be careful what you asked for. I've had more problems with two piece rings that I can't make myself trust them. Just my experience though. Good luck.

But arc doesn't make a one piece…? You are referring to a pic style. That isn't what the op was asking if I read it right

Awesome I will get in touch with them in the morning and get a size ordered up. Thanks for your time.

Could be. After his response that does appear to be the case. I wasn't understanding he wanted to use a 1 piece setup.

I've always used a pic rail and rings due to the flexibility it offers. 1 piece mounts don't always work with optics due to fixed spacing.

Using a quality rail and quality rings has never failed me.

For our rings, Atlas Actions Serial #s 5,400+ all can use our Stiller/Lone Peak Model Long-Range Hybrid rings. We may have talked yesterday, but before that we recommend contacting Kelbly on the specs of the actions pre #5400.

Thanks for the reply, yes we did talk yesterday I got in contact with Ian Kelbly and he did inform me that the earlier serial #s will still work with your Stiller/Lone Peak Hybrid rings just that the pins will not line up. I don't believe the hybrids do have a pin, do they? Thanks again for the help.

Great news, thanks. The Stiller/Lone Peak and Defiance Long Range Hybrids do have a space for the recoil pin and come with them. The R700 and Tikka models do not.

Sounds good, thanks for the info, good to know for future reference.
