Action Options for ELR in 2024

[Bubba Boomstick]

I am looking to make an ELR rifle.

What actions are people using for ELR rifle rigs that are in production in 2024? Looking for something to swap between a 33XC and 375 Cheytac. So I would need both bolt faces.

So far I know of Stiller Tac 1.6 and Bat Machine XL. What are the members thoughts and experiences? Are there any actions that can eject a loaded 33XC or loaded 375 Cheytac without removing the bolt out of the action?

Maybe Pierce actions?

My 338 Lapua Imp. has a Bat CT action. I am very pleased with it.

I see quite a few Barretts running the 375/ 416 class cartridges at the ELR matches.

What about it do you like? Is there anything you dislike?

I like Bat actions. I use them on my comp. guns. My CT is a RB-RP single shot. You must use a 1.35 tennon barrel with the CT. You can get them with a 0-20-40moa integral pic. rail. There is nothing I would change on this action for the intended purpose.......Best Of Luck

I agonized the exact same thing.
after many hours of research, I went with a bat L,
60 MOA rail, McMillan beast, 36 inch barrel, Terminator T5 break
NF ATACR. I never ended up buying the Lapua bolt

Were you able to eject loaded rounds with the BAT L? What was your impression and do you like it?

It easily ejects loaded rounds. The action is super long.
The length however limits your stock choices. There is a lot of threads to
hang a massive barrel on - 1.45 at the breach

Copy that. Thank you for your input. Looks like the Model L is discontinued. But they are saying the Model XL is the replacement for it. Looks like it has a fatter bolt 0.8".

What did you chamber in your Bat CT and was it able to eject loaded cartridges?
