4” action for 300 RUM

[Jnm300ultra]

Hi guys, I’m looking at getting a new action for a build and was thinking about a Rem clone that can handle a 4” Wyatt box magazine. I really wanted a lighter action like the Pierce Shadow but I called them and said 3.80 is the longest it would handle. I noticed the Terminus Kratos X and love every about it except the weight. The weight is 36 ounces. I wish they would be able to make the Kratos Lite in 4”. I also know of MOA Rifles but dislike the look of them. Is there any other brands that I’m missing. I’m trying to keep the 300 RUM around 7-7.5 lbs. I figure when scope and bipod rounds and sling its weight will be around 10-11 lbs. I’m planning on installing a huge brake 4-5 port one. Are most guys with a 300 Rum running a 4” magazine or the 3.80”? It will be a BDL style. Any advice would be greatly welcomed.
Jason

What weight bullets are you wanting to shoot?

 

[Jnm300ultra]

I’m looking at Hammer bullets and 215, 230 Berger.

You could probably get by with the shorter mag length with the hammers but the 4” is ideal for the heavy Bergers. I’m going to send you a pm.

I'd need to look up all the specifics from when I did my build but bottom line you modify the action. I made a 338 Edge on a standard Stiller long Acton using the Wyatts long box. I had to use a Dremel to mill material out of the rear of the bottom opening quite a bit, then modify the bolt stop to allow the bolt to come back further to pick up the round.

That’s a beautiful action. I have seen that Bat but never looked at their specs. It’s like a Cadillac of rifle actions. I have always been scared with the Bat action in field use. It’s been a true bench rest action for years and even in F Class. I went for a Borden for my F class action and couldn’t be happier. I now see all the top rife builders on here using a Bat, and they have all the real world experience. If I could come up with that cash it’s a true winner.
Thanks,
Jason

This is the one you want.

If you want cheaper, I believe the BAT igniter is compatible with the Wyatt's box

When I looked the ignition up it looks like a sweet action. When I checked Bats Website it does say much info. I will have to check a few more places.
Thanks,

Borden timberline magnum along with the bat mentioned above are my favorites

 

[Jnm300ultra]

I have a Borden BRLXD on my f class rifle and it’s one smooth action, and built like a tank. I will check to see if Jim makes his action with a 4” box.
Thanks,
Jason
