BAT Neuvo LR action

[falconpilot]

Looking for some feedback on Bat Neuvo LR actions...I've run BAT M's and Panda's forever, but been consider the BAT Neuvo for a new build.

Thanks in advance

I have all three and the Nuevo LR is hands down the smoothest of all of them.

I have three regular Neuvo Actions, two are Right/Left/Right eject, one is a Drop port.
As you know, the big selling point is the locking lugs are horizontal instead of vertical when the bolt is closed.
The bolts are fit extremely close. And due to the large diameter bolt, the body is pretty thin on the bottom, and not that stiff. In fact, of your bedding is not perfect on a bolt in, in can flex the action enough to where the bolt will feel too tight.

I guess they are as accurate as any other premium action. However, one of mine is in 30BR, and after two years of trying, I simply cannot get it to shoot like my old R/L Farley.

I've been running a Neuvo LR on this purple resin Cerus stock you sold me a couple of years ago. It does great for me. I won the '25 SWN Palma with it. I'm building two more rifles with Neuvo AR's now to save on some weight.

I have several BAT actions. Mostly the B with a MB and M in the mix too. I bought a rifle built with a Neuvo a few months ago and so far it has shown to be a very nice action. I will admit though it took a little bitt to wrap my head around the differences it has compared to the usual two-lug BATs.

I have two Neuvo LR actions one is a drop port. I favor the drop port and like the picatinny rail. Thinking of adding another one.

Mine is a drop port as well. I have two other B with DP also.

I’ll be the odd one out here, I have a neuvo LR, bat B, a kauger drop port and kauger dual port and honestly the neuvo isn’t my favorite. It’s smooth no doubt but not anymore smooth than my other 3 actions. Also the biggest downfall personally to me is the bolt is stupid heavy. It’s a challenge sometimes to make light gun weight. My gun is 15 something without the bolt and with its literally right at 17. Looking back I should’ve made it my HG and my Bat B my light gun. I’m not saying it’s a bad action. It’s a very nice action but is the price and weight worth it over a kauger? Absolutely not.

I have a LR and while it's a lovely action and I like it I'm not sure it really did anything other than make me about $700 poorer than buying any of the other Bat's. And the price of a spare bolt, cough cough, was $1100.

Thanks for input guys! Jackie's point about the action itself being thin and the ability to flex it without perfect bedding, and the $1100 extra bolt has me going a different direction...
