Perfect explanation. I’ll give them a call Monday and report back here. That’s what I’m worried about. That abrupt transition. I could care less about the feel at this point. Just want to make sure there isn’t an actual mechanical issue. Thanks for all the reply’s to you and everyone else. It really is appreciated. I know everyone here knows the feeling of getting somthing expensive and it not living up to expectations.
excessive cock on close, **updated/resolved**

That's kinda the problem. Kelbly's is likely to either fix it if it has an actual problem or tell you that it is meant to be that way. What I mean is, smoother isn't necessarily better even though it feels nice. Some would consider a product built with some margin built into it to be better than not. What some call "perfect handoff", can reasonably be called asking for trouble. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say. I don't want to argue with anyone what "perfect" is. It may be different to some people for the reasons I mentioned.
I can certainly see both sides of it. No different IMHO than setting a trigger absolutely as light as it can be. The risk is real of a slam fire. Well...that's what zero handoff is exactly like. Just because something can be done doesn't necessarily mean it should be. Either way, Kelblys builds a very good product. That goes without saying.
If you have the parts, assemble the rig and try it like you intend to use it.
Holding the action outside of the stock without the weight of the setup isn't a good test. My early Origin action acted similar. Its not designed for benchrest.

Very true! Gotta be in the stock and in the bags to tell anything much about it.

Random side note re: Origin. I have one with a TT Special trigger, which is the only trigger I’ve tried with it. I don’t have it in front of me to measure anything, but it has plenty of fall, and a very smooth opening / closing. Mileage apparently varies.
Absolutely. If I remember right for a small fee Zermatt would time/tune the Origin with your trigger. Like stated in post 2 or 3 a call to Kelbys on his Atlas is a great first move.
I am going to be looking for a chassis to buy probably next week...used. From here. Haha. But I do have a Kestros I will put it in and see how it feels. Thanks for the idea.
@Evlshnngns I don’t have action screws for the stock, but I just plopped it in and pinched it with my hand and ran the bolt quick. It definitely feels smoother. Still hurting that wall as described but it’s definitely less.
@LVLAaron looking at the bix, tac sport pro. Looks really nice. Never owned a bix trigger.

Check the new bix tac sport pro X. It's about the same price as the TT Diamond, and twice the trigger... plus more pin fall. Bix is the standard BR/F-class trigger...I wont say standard, but I'd guess MOST people are using them. I had 3 TT Diamonds, and I loved them... once I found the tac sport pro X... I sold all the diamonds and got bix.

No idea if you have an issue or not, but with the action out of the stock, cock on close can easily feel terrible.

Take your pick of opinions! Love it.
Thoroughly enjoy threads like this, just soaking up as much info as possible from people with way more experience and wisdom than I. Just can't believe nobody's "screaming " yet.

Not meant for you at all, Kevin.
It's like the use of 'headspace' when we refer to shoulder bump back. And God help those trying to follow along when the talk terms to 'jam' in a seating depth discussion. 
It gets pretty confusing for those trying to learn. And those of us those mean one thing but call it something else.Looking forward to hearing what Kelbly's says. Jim and Caleb have always gone above and beyond for my small needs.
