[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1747377, member: 65338"] He's mistaken. A BAT HR action has a 700 footprint. If an action has a true 700 footprint, it cannot have a receiver diameter larger than 1.350" or it will not fit in Remington 700 stocks. But the receiver [B][U]tenon[/U][/B] thread diameter on the HR is larger than a Remington factory action and some of the aftermarket actions. But there are other aftermarket 700 footprint actions that also use a larger tenon diameter. BAT maked actions that have a larger receiver diameters as well if you want to go that route, but those wont be a 700 footprint. Some after market actions also integrate picatinny rails and recoil lugs to the receiver which add strength and rigidity. A larger tenon leaves more barrel steel around the chamber when reamed out for the wide Lapua case body. Just be aware that the barrel shank must have a minimum of 1.250" diameter to work with the larger 1.125" tenon of the BAT HR. [/QUOTE]
