I have over a dozen of them... they're my favorite to build on... never had a problem with one... I'd sure like to have a look and an opportunity to shoot some of the rifles in that covey. What part of Montucky are you in? Maybe we can hook up... when the weather warms up a touch... I'm in Forsyth Cinch. 100 Miles east of Billings. I'd like to get together and do some shooting one day. Pat spends a little time around here too, as you know. \

Just about all the top BR and F class shooters use BAT.

That one is pretty light at 6 and 13. Still working on the 130 JLK's you sold me Marty. I think Cinch and Pat's glass costs more than my whole set up but it is still working pretty well for me after using it for 2 years. I have more to learn than I already know about this LR shooting.

Buy a DLC coated one... even smoother yet.
Also make sure you check out the ‘tactical elite” which has more action in front of the recoil lug for a longer barrel tenon, Bat extended theirs a few years back, the Defiance version is Called the tactical elite.

I have built 3 rifles on them recently; a 6.5-284 on a long action and two 6x47 Lapuas on short actions. They are nice actions. Wish I could find bottom metal that would feed the 6.5x47 case.

Does Lawton still offer custom actions?
Has anyone any experience with them?
I priced them several years ago and then the owner died but I think his son's still work the company

Leaning towards a 6mm CM, with 24" Proof Carbon 7.5 twist.
Intended purpose: practice setup for range/plinking, popping does from tree stands, truck gun for general use such as hogs, yotes, and some general deer hunting.
