Borden BR vs Bat : 6br benchrest build

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

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.
 
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

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