Stolle
Custom Rifle Actions

The use of aluminum in the rifle actions has been the ultimate goal of many
people for a number of decades.  First developed by Ralph W. Stolle in the late
60's and the early 70's, the Stolle line of actions emerged after many changes
in design and techniques.  The rigidity and lightweight characteristics are highly
desirable features, a must in today's competitive benchrest rifles.  Made entirely
of 7075-T651 aircraft aluminum and 4140 alloy steel, they insure the optimum
in stiffness and durability.

All models are of the square, flat-bottomed design to give a much greater and
longer-lasting bedding area, a must for precision rifles.  Lightness in weight
affords the use of heavier and stiffer barrels as well as aiding in balance.
All models employ an integral full-length dovetail on the top.  This rib serves
a dual purpose - added basic stiffness, plus built-in high precision scope
mount bases.


The Stolle Family of Rifle Actions



The Panda action was the first of the aluminum actions designed by Ralph W. Stolle and to
this day is still the most popular action built by Kelbly's Inc. Most suited for the Light Varmint
and Sporter classes in benchrest, it is also an excellent choice for a Heavy Varmint class rifle,
for a barrel-clamped Unlimited rifle, and for a single shot live varmint rifle.





The Big Bore Panda and Long Big Bore Panda actions are derivative of the standard Panda
action and are designed for those competitors who need to use either a dovetail or side plate
mounted iron sight.  The dovetail has been narrowed to accept an Anshutz iron sight and a side
mount has been integrated into the design to achieve this end. Since these rifles usually use
larger calibers than standard benchrest rifles an integral recoil lug has also been added to
increase the recoil area.





The standard Kodiak model is designed for the Hunter benchrest class.  It is smaller in
cross-section than the Panda and contains a magazine port that will accept a small
Remington 700 type of magazine. The Long Kodiak was developed to allow extraction of a
live 7mm Mag. or similar length cartridge.  This action will accept a long Remington 700
magazine. Both actions have an integral recoil lug and are available with or without a magazine.




The Grizzly II action is a round centerfire action made of 416 R stainless steel. It comes in a
number of different configurations. It has the same barrel tenon and bolt design as the short Panda or Kodiak actions. It comes in a single shot or with two different magazine ports that will accept either a Remington 700 type magazine or the new extended length magazine. The single shot is availiable with a micro port in either right bolt/left port or left bolt/right port configurations. The action is drilled and tapped for optional Kelbly or Davidson style scope mount bases. The extended magazine action has standard trigger cross pins while the other two have a trigger bracket that accepts Remington style triggers. The standard finish for the action is high polish.
