Just figured I would post an update. So far we have had nothing but great feedback from the field. There are several Gunsmiths from around the country that have built on them so far, if you are one of them, please feel free to chime in. Here are a few we have done here at Wolf Precision.

.260 Remington

30-06 Match

.223 Ramington - fast twist for the 75-80 grain Bullets

7WSM

18.5" .260

6.5x47 Lapua

.308

.308

Thanks,
JamieD

Re: Some Bat Tactical Action Rifles

They look good Jamie! I still reminisce about the one you showed me when I picked up my rifle.

Any idea when some WSM bolt faced ones are gonna be available? I think I check your site every day for them to arrive, haha.

Re: Some Bat Tactical Action Rifles

I can provide a picture of my BTA before I sent it to the smith. It is one smooth running action!!

<span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold"> Help me decide color of barrel...should I bead blast it or coat it to match the action?</span></span>

Here is some info for the imagination:

BTA Action
Bartlein 8 Twist 27" chambered in 6mm Super LR
Badger DBM
Manners T5A molded in Coyote Tan / Desert Tan / OD
Jewell Trigger

The action isn't going to be touched as it has the Nitride coating done, and I don't want to screw with how slick this thing runs. I'm telling you that it is flat out a pleasure to cycle!!!

Re: Some Bat Tactical Action Rifles

After doing them both coated and bead blasted. I think I like the Bead blasted look better. I also think it will help the barrel cool a little faster (not that big of a deal).

One really nice thing about the actions if you can switch bolts to change the bolt face, no gunsmithing required. You can go from a .308 to a 7wsm and change them back and forth at will.

Jamie,

I have a few questions for you.

A couple friends bought some Defiance Deviants for their custom builds. Both are a little disappointed because of the bolt binding issue on them. If I tried to cycle the bolt fast they would bind. One of the guys had a Surgeon 591 that didn't have a binding issue at all. Neither does my Surgeon XL.

So my question is do the BAT actions bind like the Deviant does when cycled fast?

 

[Papagallos]

So my question is do the BAT actions bind like the Deviant does when cycled fast?

Absolutely not. The BAT Tactical action runs very, very slick without binding issues. Run it fast or slow, it will not bind at all.

Fantastic!

Now that Surgeon 591's aren't to be had the BAT tactical would be my pick then.

My EXACT thoughts! I played with Jamies 223 at a sport show, the slickness lives up to all the hype. Its super smooth!!!

Here's some

 

[leadbullet]

I have handled a few BAT actions, all were smooth as silk, I may have to look into one or two of those, they look great.

 

[Kevin 53]

I'm on the edge of ordering the bta. Does anyone know the difference in the tactical and the other actions ?

Thank you kevin

Hey Gray...are you, perchance, color blind?

My Two Rigs with BTA's...

Jamie built both my rigs. I cannot say enough good things about them and Jamie's detail to building a custom rig. They are both TAC DRIVERS!

If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing!!!

Having a lot of fun with both of them.

I took the .223 for two gallons of water - one @ 900 and other @ 1000 yards. The .338 Lapua is only about four weeks old with three trips for load development. Extremely happy with how load development is going with the Lapua.
