[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 106339, member: 10"] Robbor, Yep, as mentioned, look at the pic that SS7mm posted comparing the 2" BAT with the Rem 700. You can see the recoil lug under the receiver. I also bedded my receiver so that the rear of the receiver is also acting as a recoil lug eith a tapes width of clearance on the tang taper to prevent any wedging effect that may cause a split. The rear of this receiver has more bring surface then the recoil lug!!! I believe my barreled receiver is a bit over 30 lbs. add a 25 lb stock, a very heavy USS Xotic scope and 1.5 lbs worth of scope rings and you are pushing 60 lbs in a hard way!! Dan lists my barrel at $510+shipping. The price goes up quite a bit for a 2" diameter barrel at 40" with a price of $570. Yes it will cost $30 to ship one of these barrels so D-As price quote is right on the money!! Yes, if you go with a 2" BAT, it really does not make alot of sense to go to less then a 1.750" diameter barrel. Even if your only going to use 30" of barrel length, the receiver will take it easily and the **** thing is already heavy so why not make it as stiff as possible. Bruce also makes a 1.650" x 10" and a 1.750" x 10" receiver as well. For the lighter barrels in the 1.500" range these are good choices. For a 1.350" to 1.450" barrel diameter I like his 1.55" diameter receivers. With a real long 1.5" barrel I would recommend a barrel bedding V-Block. May not be needed but still would recommend it just to be safe. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
