[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 176281, member: 10"] If you have the BAT 10x2 receiver, you need no barrel block of any kind. How can I say this with so much confidence.... My Black Sunshine, 338 Allen Magnum, has a 1.750" straight cylinder barrel, 40" finish length screwed to a BAT 10x2 and the barrel is completely floated. Now this is a toad of a barrel, nearly 25 lbs just in barrel. At 100 yards, it shoots in the high .1's, low .2's and thats with a 265 gr AT RBBT at 3560 fps. It will drive the 300 gr SMK to 3450 fps with same accuracy. At half mile, 1/2 moa is pretty easy to get, in fact I have shot several 1/5 and a couple 1/10 moa groups!!! I have shot enough 1/2 moa groups at 1000 yards that I know the rifle system is stable. I have also taken rockchucks at 1095, 2100 and 2370 yards with this rifle, again with nothing but a conventional pillar bedding system using my custom large diameter stainless steel pillars with the huge barrel fully floated. Since you have the BAT 10x2, there is no need at all for anything but a conventional bedding system with stout pillars. Any barrel you have talked about will not even begin to strain that receiver. All that given that you use a stock stout enough to support the weight of the barrel. With the BAT 10x2, you will need a BMG stock, big mac, 50LBR or 50 HBR. I prefer the 50LBR with that receiver just because its easier to get front rests to work with it. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
