BAT Machine BumbleBee Aluminum Action – Lightweight Precision with 90-Degree Bolt Throw

The BAT Machine BumbleBee Aluminum Action is a high-performance, lightweight action designed for precision shooters who value strength and durability. This version features a right-hand bolt with a 90-degree bolt throw and is crafted specifically for Remington 700 short action bottom metal. The BumbleBee action is built for those who demand accuracy and reliability in a lightweight package, weighing just 23 ounces.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminum and Chromoly Steel Construction

The action body is made from aircraft-grade billet 7075-T6 aluminum, paired with hardened 4140 Chromoly steel for critical components. This combination ensures that the action is both lightweight and extremely durable. The BumbleBee is 12.2 ounces lighter than comparable BAT Machine VR and TR actions, offering similar weight to titanium actions but with added integrated features, such as the Picatinny rail and recoil lug, eliminating the need for extra mounting hardware.

Stiffness and Durability

Despite its lightweight design, the BumbleBee action boasts a stiffness increase of 31-42% compared to lightweight steel actions, and over 130% compared to round titanium actions. This increased rigidity enhances accuracy and durability, ensuring that the action maintains its precision over time and in demanding conditions.

Smooth and Reliable Bolt Operation

The BumbleBee features a Black Nitride-coated firing pin, bolt, and bolt shroud, providing low friction and corrosion resistance for smooth bolt cycling. The Type III hard anodized finish with a Teflon coating on the action body further reduces friction and increases wear resistance. Additionally, the extended extraction cam improves bolt operation, making cycling the bolt effortless and efficient, even during rapid firing.

20 MOA Integral Picatinny Rail and Recoil Lug

The integral 20 MOA Picatinny rail provides an easy 100-yard zero and maximizes the elevation adjustment capabilities of your scope for long-range shooting. Multiple scope mounting positions ensure compatibility with a wide range of scope configurations and eye relief preferences, though some Uni-mount rings may not be compatible with this action.

Designed for Remington 700 Short Action Components

The BumbleBee action is specifically designed to work with Remington 700 short action bottom metal. It requires a custom BumbleBee-specific inlet to accommodate its flat-bottom design. The action’s bottom cut allows the use of standard and extended magazine boxes, including Wyatt’s Outdoor extended boxes and detachable boxes without binder plates.
