The 6UM

I know, right?

BAT Machine actions are by far the better R700 clone versus Defiance

Why?

 

[IrkedCitizen]

Better attention to detail, quality control, small owned business not a conglomerate. BAT actions just exude high craftsmanship.

Pretty sure there are just as many defiance as bat actions at the top level benchrest and f class events around the country.

I like bat better myself, but when raw micro-accuracy is the game, they compete at the same level.

I'm not crazy about how they have bats all over it. Also, they aren't made in Montana

Ace had unknown do a barreled action for me with a 1:7.5 twist.

66 of n570. Granted I didn’t spend a lot of time with the load before hunting season. And there are a few things I want to double check when I have some free time. It’s hard to find the time with a newborn right now…

Here are the 3 charge weights I did all 60 thou and 115 dtac’s
