BAT SV vs Borden BR
I’m about to build a single shot 20 Vartarg and have narrowed my action choices down to these two actions (I think).
Has anyone had the pleasure of owning or using both? Did you have a preference of one over the other? The SV is a little lighter and shorter but I’ve read the Borden is a little smoother. The difference in weight is not a factor. Thanks for you input. |

Hard to go wrong with either. I still use a BAT SV. I had a customer service issue with Borden's shop and had to take care of an issue out of my own pocket - left a sour taste. The Borden action I had was an Alpine rather than the other, but shot as well as any action I have had. Both are smooth, the BAT seems to have a tighter tolerance to the bolt.

My Bat Model S bolt feels like it runs on greased ball bearings. Hard to imagine anything smoother but I have never handled a Borden.

My experience is the same as the others, have a SV which is just like melted butter smooth. Came second in our club comp last Saturday. So happy with it.

I'd be interested to know the serial numbers of the S and the SV that are as smooth as melted butter, just so I can compare them to mine which is real smooth also.
I have found some Bat actions smoother than others. I haven't tried a latter Borden action, although I wouldn't mind getting a Rimrock BR action as I have heard good things about them. The early Borden actions (Made by Nesika) are as smooth as any action I've tried, and I would think the latter ones are equal to them. Kiwi |

Thanks guys. I was able to get an in stock SV that had the configuration I was looking for. Manners inlets for them so that was really what pushed me that direction.
