If you don’t need the weight reduction I would go Prometheus for the full top rail. I wasn’t able to get my rings where I would have liked to on my nanook. It did work but depending on the scope and the person you could run into issues possibly.

Interesting. That's not a downside I had considered. Was the issue they were too far forward or back?
first ive heard but could make sense if a youth shooter or maybe female? or a small scope like the S&B ultra shorts? with most adjustable stocks tho could easily go around this. Guess I got lucky but my NRL light hunter rig fits perfect.
For me it was far enough forward. I’m 6’5” with a giraffe neck and like a shorter LOP. Like I said, it worked out for me without any real issue but got me thinking it could be a problem for someone that’s outside of the “standard” dimensions.
With the folder added I was able to get far enough back to work but without the folder and the rear ring slid all the way forward on the rail and the scope slid all the way forward it was right on the edge of proper eye relief.

I agree. I'm not expecting this to make some level of magical difference, but am looking to make something different and on the lighter end of the spectrum this time around.
Figured I would share some news I found out from their website:
1) Looks like the Prometheus can now be ordered as a single shot! (I have a new repeater Prometheus action still in the box, I wish I could trade it for a single shot version... I do live less than an hour from Kelbly's but I digress) @Ian A. Kelbly ? @Ryan A. Kelbly ?
2) Looks like you can now order 75 degree bolts from them as well. Aligning with the recent trend from the other manufacturers.

Well +1 another example of great customer service from Kelbly's.
They are allowing me to trade out my repeater for a single shot variant. Figured I would share/update since I mentioned it here.

@Harman117 I ordered a Prometheus a month or 2 ago after winning a free Kelbly's action cert at a match. After I saw they added a 75° bolt throw option, I reached out and asked to change my order from the 90°. They have been great and fast to deal with from my interactions.
Crossing my fingers I will have the action in hand for the holidays, so I can have it set up for the new year.

Good to hear, they're good people
