What model are you looking for?

I'm looking for a SV RBLPRE ppc/308 bolt face.

Check with Bruno's, they usually have that sweet little SV in stock..

I always look through the classified section on this forum first. I am pretty sure SAGAVEGUY has some BAT actions available. It that doesn't work I go to the Classifieds on Benchrest Central https://benchrest.com/class/index.php?a=5&b=234 to see what is available. I would buy from Russ Haydon first. They are just GREAT people to deal with. You shouldn't need to go anyplace else..

I have tried the three mentioned and none has one in stock.

What are you going to use this for?

Kevin, not sure if this will fill your needs, but this is for sale in the Benchrest classifieds for barely more than the price of a new action (http://benchrest.com/class/index.php?a=2&b=4428). Not an SV, but sure a nice BAT action that would be a good "donor" ...

Good luck, Reed

Chris has eight of the BAT DS actions for sale. This is one of the most common actions in the short range benchrest game. The DS is a little more expensive but well worth the cost.

Chris (Savageguy) Is a great guy to deal with. He also sells the jewel triggers for them cheap and trigger guards and rings. I had alot more money before I called and talked to him on the phone!

Me too Chris is a great guy to deal with!!

Most guys around here shoot the SV. Im only going to be shooting ppc/br cases so I don't think I'll need the extra length/weight. That's why I chose the SV.

Thanks

If you go with a 7.5 inch model such as the Model B or DS, I don't think that you will regret it. The DS is easier to load and seems to be smoother in operation. The firing pin seldom needs work on the 7.5 inch models, but that is not the case with the 6.5 inch models. Good shooting...James

I agree with James. Get a model B or a DS, they are very similar. You will NOT regret getting these for short range BR. It's not just the size, there are many advantages to them. Look at most of the TOP shooters at the Super Shoot and see what they are shooting.
