Re: Locating a Badger M2008 action in .308
If you can wait a month or so, you can buy the newest gen M2013 AKA M2008. Badger will have them ready for purchase middle of Feb. At least that's what i've been told.

Re: Locating a Badger M2008 action in .308
I wonder what the updates are on the Gen 3. I might have to pull my Gen 2 out of the safe again.

Re: Locating a Badger M2008 action in .308
just called them...no more m2008's available. The next order will be for m2013's shipping out possibly around mid February...price $1180. No pre-orders at this time...but they are discussing that option.
Maybe we can get a group buy together and discount it a little

The last two leftys known to man!!!!
The gen 2-M2008 and the 2013 are going to be very similar from what I have heard. The 2013 will be a little lighter from what I recall.
BUT, no more leftys moving forward.

Re: Locating a Badger M2008 action in .308
The biggest difference's in the M2008 and M2013, is more material was machined away in certain areas to make it lighter. They also changed the bolt release slightly to be more user friendly. And the biggest/best improvement made was the spring on the bolt lift. They lightened it up a bit to be easier to open. Again, I haven't actually used one, but a good source is where I've gotten my info.
Price is going to be just a shade more than the M2008, because of the extra attention to details and lets face it, it is the new gen. My opinion, it's well worth the extra coin for the extra goodies.
Shot show will be the unveiling, so we should hear something shortly after that. And yes, I'd be up for a group buy as well.

Re: Locating a Badger M2008 action in .308
Who knows the GO-TO guy at Badger to setup a Group Buy?
I'd like to see where we could get a set of rings thrown in, maybe if enough buy a great deal on the action and bottom metal w/mag.

Re: Locating a Badger M2008 action in .308
I believe a group buy was tried in the past. I believe Marty said there wasn't enough mark up in the actions to give any deals. I would get in a group buy if it were to happen, but I don't think we'll get that lucky...
Kind regards,
Jared

Re: Locating a Badger M2008 action in .308
most of the weight is lost by going to a aluminum scope rail, I made one for mine and had similar results

Wonder if the additional machining to reduce weight will have any effect on accuracy.

Wish they'd take pre-order.
Same footprint? Yes. I spoke to them about this directly and was told that it's the same footprint as the M2008
BTW, if someone has an M2008 action the want to sell PM me.

Played with at SHOT, they have updated everything or the complaints of prior generations . This is one silky smooth action. I almost want to build another just because of this action

The action has been improved in every way, once I get back from shot I am going to order one. The bolt throw is vastly improved.

Topgun...yes, from what I recall talking to them a few weeks ago.
OMT- yes they should fit as above, from what I recall talking to them.
If you have any questions...just call them.
As for am I getting one...not anymore. Why, they won't take an order. I've got a 700 that I've wanted to have worked on for a while. I can get it sent out to Dixon, have it back and shooting before Badger is willing to take my order.
