Borden BR vs Bat : 6br benchrest build

[Hydenseek]

What's the opinion here?

Specs:
6br
1.25 straight 26" barrel
Flat stock
Benchrest setup
100 - 600 yd matches
105 +/- gr bullets

I know this is very much a preference thing but curious to the logical reasons for one action or the other.

Jim Borden is the same way....he stands behind his products 100%.

I own both BAT 3 lug and 2 Borden RimRock's. I like my borden's better, smoother, easier bolt lift.

I would pick the one I could get my hands on first, both are great.

I've shot Borden's and own a Bat; my preference would be like CJ6's and Marks - whichever you can get your hands on first.

Go with the Borden. Get the Jewell trigger from him as well, it will be blueprinted and timed... 8)

They are both great I liked my first Rimrock so much I got 2 more. I have always wanted a Bat just couldn't change. My favorite is in a Rimrock stock.

I have a couple of Bat action and I have been very happy with them. I decided to build an F-Class Open rig and called Bat Machine and was told it would be about a year wait for one of their actions. I had been reading/hearing a lot of good things about Jim Borden's action so I gave him a call and ordered a BRM. This was about a month ago and I got a email the other day letting me know my action is ready. I haven't received it yet so I can't comment on it but I am willing to bet I will be another one of Jim's happy customers.

I have a few Bat`s and really like them.

Having never owned a Borden i can`t tell you anything about them.

I don`t believe there is a bad decision between the two.

Jim has 4 Rimrock BR's available on his website, no BRM's. 3 right and 1 lefty

 

[22DASHER]

I want that lefty sooooo bad but I just cannot get myself to pull the trigger!

I shoot short range Br with a number of bat actions, both 2 and 3 lug,

bought a couple for f-class BUT

also bought a couple of borden BRM and they are just as nice and seem smoother to operate,

either is fine

What is the BRM? Is it a magnum length?

BRM is a medium length, you can get a dual port with a ejection port up to a 284 sized case.

The BRM is a nice action, very smooth with great trigger timing. I shot one on my LG for 600 yard IBS for 3 years. I just sold it and replaced it with another BAT DS to match my HG action as I prefer it to work better for my shooting style and a few other minor things.

You can not go wrong with ether one.
