BAT......2 or 3 lug???

[Phil]

Up to this point I`ve only had 2 lug Bat actions, I`m considering ordering a 3 lug.

My question is, to those of you that have had both, which action do you prefer???

I have tried both and prefer the 2 lug as it has a smoother feel to it.

I've used both and personally prefer the 3 Lug.

I don't notice it requiring more to open the bolt and I like that it rides on the body of the bolt rather than raceways. The shorter bolt lift is something that will spoil you though.

Depends on if it is a light or heavy gun, little stiffer on the bolt lift on the 3L, both of mine are very smooth, 3L will bind if not lubed alot when running a fast string of 10 shots.

Live varmint gun, long strings could be possible, depending on the level of self control.

I have never regretted buying mine.....
