Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Defiance Actions bolt face

Jeff - Stoney had the BAT repair the action as I mentioned, obviously BAT chose to take more interest in the situation after a long delay on my end.

Now Jeff, i.e. you received a barrel from a company that is regarded as a top mfg, and that bbl shows up w/chatter marks in the lands/grooves, or perhaps no grooves at all, I am sure you would be just as disappointed, and expect much more for your money, or at least I do b/c I work hard for mine.

Glad your experience differs. As to 'letting it go' not sure where someone above determines the FACTS above are not legit. The pic does not lie.

Sure is interesting how many on the board get upset when their pet product receives less than favorable reviews by someone who has received a Lemon. Enjoy your BAT's.

If someone does not like the facts I report - ignore them, but don't call me a liar.

65BR:

If I receive a component that is messed up from the factory, I too would be calling that company to explain the problem & get it fixed, no doubt!!

My question to you is, how come Stoney was able to get it repaired by BAT with minimal effort, but you could not??

Also, I wouldn't have went on 3 or 4 different forums and ranted about the problem before BAT was given the chance to make it right!!

Not trying to be an ass here, just telling you how I truthfully feel.

65BR:

Believe me, I have had some problems with a few companies in the custom rifle/shooting buisness - I think we all have.

For example: bad gunsmithing work, wrong components, a $2500 scope that was junk outta the box, etc.. etc...I called each customer service and got things squared away. Was it a royal pain in the azz - you betcha!! Was I disappointed - you betcha!!

Schit happens but you just got to deal with it the best you can & move on!! You got a new action you were happy with & Stoney got his, game over.

Jeff - why are your panties in a wad about MY bad experience?

The Fact is I received CHIT, and when I contacted BAT repeatedly I did not get any satisfaction for days. It was unacceptable.

By the time Stoney bought the action, he had PREVIOUSLY asked BAT if they'd repair it, PRIOR to buying it. Stoney had time to wait for the repair.

I don't buy CHIT for Top $$$$ and expect to have to wait a week to get a reply w/a 'Don't give a CHIT' attitude.

Yep, CHIT happens Jeff, and it chaps your azz that it happened to brand you own.

Again, enjoy your BAT.

65BR:

To be honest, I don't give a schit about your experience - just tired of hearing about it!!

I tried to post/talk with you rationally, but I guess you can't do that??

I do enjoy my BAT - its a hammer!!





Take care.

Congrats Jeff, my Borden Alpine will hold it's own no worries.

Rationally? If Factual is not rational, I guess you are living in something other than reality.

Just b/c someone has a different and negative experience w/a product that happens to be YOUR huckleberry, it does not make it irrational or illogical. It just means you got your feelings hurt.

If you cannot stand the facts, then put me on ignore, b/c that's what I share, MY experience, based on facts.

Fact is BAT Fubbed up, and when contacted, dropped the ball on me. Call a spade a spade. So, I simply bought my next 4 actions from another mfg.

I might not like a #5 tube on a hunting rifle, but does that make you irrational or illogical b/c I disagree?

Here are my two:

65BR:

Where ever you got that BAT is my go to action is wrong - I have rifles built on Defiance, Surgeon and BAT actions. To tell you the truth, I'd buy a Surgeon or Defiance before I'd buy another BAT (nothing against BAT at all, just like the other 2 a little more).

Out of all the custom actions I have used, Surgeon is my favorite by a mile!!

PS-If you think my feelings are hurt because your're bitchin & moanin about your experience with a rifle action, you're waayyy of base!!

I could care less what component you like or dislike - I don't give a rats azz, believe me!!

Funny Jeff, and you said above for me to let it go?

You are like a Democrat, if something is said you don't like - you criticize the messenger.

Jeff..Cliff, calm the F*ck down!

Here are the facts...

1. The Bat had a piece of embedded scotch tape that resembled a scratch in Cliff's pics. It was removed.

2. The feed ramp had some scratches also shown in 65BR's pics. Bat buffed them out.

Thanks for selling me the action Cliff. Jeff, I have nothing to thank you for so GFY.

No Jeff I do not drink Corona, the wife does. The Bat........

Hey Stoney how about you SMD!!

LOL!!!

I know you don't drink Corona - you really enjoy your Bartle & James wine coolers.

Stoney, glad you had a nice rifle built with it and enjoy it.

I never was not calm...during this discussion.

Stoney,
How did you get the Corona bottle to hold the rifle upside down without spilling all that piss water out of the bottle???

Lol, you use your IPhone on 24hr like myself. When using my IPhone the pics are upside down, but on my laptop there not. I have no idea why...maybe someone knows the answer ?
