Kelbly Stolle Swindlehurst 22LR

[digi2496]

Dear group, sorry for my terrible english!!!.

I'm Francisco from the Canary Islands, Spain. I just get an used kelbly stolle swindlehurst 22LR rifle. I'm the third owner, the others leave it several years inside the box because the accuraccy was terrible!!!. Now I will try to solve the problems but I don't know how to start....

The barrel is under 5.000 rounds, it's clean (BORE TECH RIMFIRE BLEND), action is clean and lube, I check great Lapua, RWS and Eley ammo batch but It's impossible to get stability accuracy: 5/6 shots just in the meadle of the target, them 3/4 shost down/left, them another 5/3 good shots and them 3/4 flyers......

I would like to unmount the action but I need a kit from.............. do you recomended a kit for that action???, I need to check inside the bolt too !!!

I was talking with other users of this kelbly and It's a natural effect: accuracy problems, so maybe a barrel change will be a quick solution but, which one???.


So, your help is wellcome.. thx so much !!!

Fran.

So are you wanting to remove barrel? A rem 700 action wrench will do the job. To take the bolt apart simply decock and drive the pin out in the bolt shroud and it slides apart. There is some tension on it but not much

Mark Penrod at Penrod Precision is very familiar with the Swindlehurst action.

But sadly not in the Canary Islands, where the rifle is. Shipping the rifle to the US will be expensive, and likely involve quite a bit of red tape.

I was thinking of Mark as a source of information that might lead to the OP solving some of his problems.

Get a bore scope and check for a carbon ring. Also check the crown for any nicks or damage.

Might want to check the firing pin and spring.

nice idea to check it !!!

I’d carefully paste the bore …maybe a recrown.

Really???

I just contact with Mark Penrod to talk about the rifle...

Torque specs on the action screws within tolerances? Not that it should make that much difference but it's something else to check that needs to be correct.

I do not in that particular rifle. My CZ shoots well at 25 in/lbs. I'm sure someone will know for your particular application here tho, or be able to point you in the right direction tho.
