Hi Guys.
l have come across a left hand bat action with a 338 lapua mag bolt. l have sort of gathered they are not a bad action. lt is 1.5 inches in diameter and is 8.5 inches long. l'm not into target shooting, so what else would this action be good for, l was thinking a nice long range hunter, and what cal would you turn it into??
Just wondering if it may be worth persueing or not

300YOGI
338LM necked to 30cal and improved.

How does the 300yogi compare to ones like the 300wby??
Are the bat actions common in left handers. What are they normally worth?? l know my l/h hunting rifles are always dearer than r/handers.

I wouldnt be worried about it being a single shot target action .....if you hit anything with a .338lap its not going to need another follow up shot.
my Bat action cost me about $2300.

Dave Tooley is probably your best bet. I went searching the internet and couldnt find anything useful (in fairness i didnt try very hard). I was looking for a case diagram or some such but had no luck in that respect.

If it has a 338 Lap boltface you should look into the 338 and 300 Norma Magnum cases.
Not to be confused with the 50yo 308 and 358 Norma Magnums.
