Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics...

Re: Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics

Hey all,

quick questions about your rifles.

Is there a clearance problem with the Badger M2008 bolt and AICS stock where rubbing occurs? (I recall seeing one for sale here that had a really bad rubbing issue)

Does the Badger M2008 action only come in stainless? What are you guys using to finish the action/barrel in black?

How much are one of these actions? I can't find one for sale anywhere!

Re: Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics

with the rubbing of the stock, mine doesnt do it. I have an AICS 2.0, i have no solid evidence but i believe that it has to do with how much material was removed from the chasis. Yea they only come in stainless, mine was duracoated. Call up Marty @ badger and see if he has any instock

I have a folder built up and 1.5, neither one rubs on the skins. GAP did the build on both. Mine are Cerakote coated.

As far as price, I purchsed 2 Gen IIs las Novermber for $980 each plus shipping, standard 308 boltface/short cation. I would check with the Badger's website. The price may have gone up a little. But I'm not sure. A very, very nice action at a very reasonable price.

Sorry but every Jewel I've ever felt, felt squishy. Felt ones adjusted by GAP, set by Jewel, and I tried my hand at one for 15 minutes. All the same. I dont know about myself or Jewel, but if it came that way from GAP, I dont think its getting much better.

The squishiness is a trait of Jewels it seems.

What trigger would you recommend that is not squishy and is crisp?

Re: Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics...

Any of the aftermarket triggers are fine. And most are half the cost of Jewels.

Get whichever one your gunsmith likes to install.

Nothing "wrong" with Jewels. But in my opinion, they arent worth what they cost. I dont care if they put more effort into making them... the effort's in vain.
The "squishy" feeling is consistant every time and the trigger probably moves a few thousanths at most before breaking. BUT, thats not the glass rod people expect.



Very nice rifles guys. I cant wait to check out one of those actions.

No love for the long actions?

Really love to see someone's build for an Edge or Lapua ...


You folks have some gorgeous sticks here.

Re: Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics...

On the Jewel topic... I spoke to a smith that said he tunes them to get the squishiness out. Couldn't explain how he does it, but said he can.

So maybe there's a way that I don't know, and jewel & gap don't practice. Cause like I said every jewel I've squeezed felt exactly the same.

If anyone knows a lot about jewels and can edumicate me, on getting the squishiness out, I'd love to hear how.

Bringing this back up.

Are any modifications necessary to make the M2008 run with AW mags? My configuration is going to be with a A5 and M5 bottom metal if that makes any difference.

Re: Badger M2008 Builds.....Where are they?? Pics

Here's mine:

M2008 Gen 1 action
18.5 Schneider Barrel w/ Surefire brake
Jewel Trigger
Manners T4A stock w/ Badger M5 BM
Badger USMC 34mm rings
S&B 5-25x56

Yes it has a shitty sling on it that I scavenged off a work rifle for the time being.

no no mods are necessary, you may need to grind down the magazine latch on whatever bottom metal you intend to use, but nothing to the action

I need more pics of this please! It's pretty close to what mine is going to be. M2008 in a GAP camo A5 with a M5 bottom metal. I have been emailing Marty about it and he says the modification is going to be dependent on the inlet. Did you have to modify your latch any?

No, but the rifle came to me running AICS mags. I found someone at a match with AW mags and tried one and it fit perfect, so I ordered one. It feeds fine with either type of mag. If there was any modification done to the latch, it was done before I got it.

Easy_E

That's look real great.

I'm planning for my first custom stick. We still have to wait for quite a few more months before we can import .308 or larger rifle into country again. A good opportunity to look around for build options.

I bought the 7WSM and had Robert rebarrel it in 300WM. Now it wears paint by ARP and a Tigershark suppressor.
