[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2023119, member: 101859"] Pandas have been around for about 40 years. They are a bare aluminum action body and Benchrest/F-class shooters shoot many thousandths of rounds a year on them and dont wear them out. Stiller made a Viper which was also an aluminum action body. They were anodized like the Bat, I have never seen one wear through the anodize, most with 10 times the round count a hunting action would see in many life times. Anodized aluminum is about 1.5x harder that the steel used in actions. Thats the wear resistance side of it, you also gain cross section area for similar weight so in many cases those aluminum actions are stiffer then steel competitors. In this case Bat claims 30% stiffer than the lighweight steel and 130% stiffer than round Ti actions. My experiences with the aluminum action on the market has been excellent. What bad experiences have you had with aluminum actions that formed your opinion? [/QUOTE]
