This rifle is built on a BAT Machine right-hand, single-shot solid-bottom receiver with a large right-side loading and ejection port. The bolt carries spiral/diamond fluting, a round knob, and the BAT logo on the shroud, underscoring the purpose-built precision of the action.
The 28" Krieger cut-rifled stainless barrel uses a 1:9" twist suited to heavyweight .338 projectiles. Its heavy-contour profile, combined with distinctive helical/diamond fluting, is engineered for stability. A radial multi-port muzzle brake is installed to help manage recoil and maintain sight picture.
A laminated benchrest stock supports consistent tracking on bags and rests. It features a wide, flat fore-end, high-gloss multi-color laminate finish, and a rubber recoil pad. Length of pull is set at 13.0".
Optics are handled by an installed Nightforce NXS 8-32x56 SFP scope with the NP-R1 reticle and .25 MOA turrets. A one-piece Picatinny scope base and rings are installed to secure the optic. The rifle has no iron sights and a capacity of one round.
The stainless receiver and barrel, single-stage trigger, and USA manufacture reflect a focused, custom build for long-range precision. The configuration is clean, functional, and aligned with dedicated benchrest and long-range applications.
