50 BMG Actions

[hoz53]

I am wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any other high quality actions(bolt) available that would handle the 50 BMG, besides the Bat and Mcbros. Thanks much in advance.

RPA makes a quad lock for 50 BMG. Its very heavy at 13.5 lbs

Is it for a fun gun, or Benchrest and are you set on a full length bolt? State Arms/East Ridge builds some solid rifles but the actions are the shellholder type, that is the bolt is short and includes a shellholder for the round. Then you put the round and bolt back in as one piece. It also saves about 5 inches on the overall length of the rifle. Obviously this negates it being a repeater, but if you don't require a repeater it gives you another option and the rifles themselves are pretty darn affordable.

Thank you all for the replies. I'm not planning on using this rifle for competition. I want an accurate as I can make it, single shot 50 BMG for general purpose use at 800m+. I think I'll try to get a bat.

Just checked the price on the BAT. Wowza. For an 800-1000 (non benchrest) you can buy complete rifles for less. That thing is a masterpiece, but dang... lol

You're right kingfisher --I'll think about it a little more

As with most things you get what you pay for. As Bats ads say buy the best and cry once.

I have one rifle built on a BAT action. Yup, the price is in the Wowza range, but I haven't regretted spending the extra on the BAT action for a moment. It only hurts until your first range session.....
