I’m considering a Bat Nuevo for a short range Benchrest build. I see they offer it in both stainless and chromoly steel. Is there an advantage one way or the other between the two?

If weight is a consideration then shop carefully. I just bought a rifle built using the Neuvo. Mine is the AL version and I can make weight for Long Range LG fairly easily. I also own a rifle I had built using a BAT B drop port. The action I ordered had the integral recoil lug up front and a machined in 20MOA scope base. The difference is weight caused by those two things and the weight gain from the drop port v. the right eject port gave me fits making LG weight (17 pounds).
EDIT
I will recommend nitride on the SS part of the action. I had two BAT actions with nitride finish and they are very smooth.
I always order chrome moly for bat and all of the standard length Nuevo has always been CM. Use both Nuevo and 3L for SR benchrest. I prefer chrome moly due to less chance of gauling with a stainless steel barrel. Only downside that I see is either need to blue or coat it to prevent possible rust.

I do not think the Nuevo can be ordered in SS anymore. They should all be CM now. The 17-4 Bat uses is really good stuff. At one point in time I ordered all my actions in the white, "tuned" them then sent them back for nitride. So I measured a lot of actions. CM does stay a little straighter than 17-4. With Bats current process I do not even care. They are so straight that you cant tell the difference. So far as holding pressure, I almost lean towards the 17-4 but I wouldnt bet on it. With BAT, I no longer see any difference between CM or SS. I do not care either way.

All three of my Neuvo Actions are SS with the Black Nitride coating.
I was under the impression that all Short Range Neuvo Actions were 17-4 Stainless, with Chrome Moly being special order. With Bats properRC hardness on their SS actions, there is little fear of any galling of the lugs or a barrel.
That might have changed the material protocol. Anyway, I doubt there is much difference. Both are top notch.
It seems that at Bullet Central has several Neuvos at a reduced price.

Appreciate the input fellas. I was shopping at Bullet Central and seen both. I didn’t know if there was any significant difference. It appears not. I just need to make a decision and order one before they are gone.

Thanks To All For Your Thoughts and Concerns.
I would like to offer thanks to my fellow shooters and friends for their concerns and best wishes as I underwent a “Everolimus-Elutimg Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent Implantation“ yesterday.(How’s that for a fancy name”. I am assuming that with a name like that, they did not go with the...
