Bat action foot print

[leadburner]

Hey guys wanted see if you can help me out. I have McMillan stock that I got a couple years ago. Had the stock milled for a Stiller s/a diamondback drop port. The drop port, trigger, & trigger guard were not milled in the stock just the action foot print & barrel channel. Now my question. Thinking about getting a Bat action to finish the build. Which model Bat would have the closest foot print to the diamondback. Rifle to be for f class in 6br. Interested in one of the Bats with the roller cam on bolt. Not against using another brand of action if it saves my smith some milling & glass work. Thanks for any advice advance.

The VR would to my knowledge be the closest. However that said your bedding will not totally match the Stiller and if you really want to have it right you should bed it again on the Bat.

go with a Kelbly Grizzly II or Atlas....either one is a close fit ,,,,just a skim coat on the bedding,,,Roger

Gamma, Already have a bat vr chambered in 6.5 x 47. Very pleased with the rifle and the round. One reason I'm interested in another bat. Expiper, My smith actually had a kelby f-class action on hand for another customer that would work with a little mill work. Just wish it came in a left port right eject combo. Thanks guys.
