Future Badger M2008 actions

[Guest]

I understand that the first batch of M2008 short actions is out. I know that they will be offering "magnum" actions in the future.

Does this mean they will only have say 300 win mag or 338LM bolt faces, or will they have other standard bolt fades as well. That being said, do they plan to offer say .223 bolt faces for the short action.

The 338LM Actions are out....sold out already I think.

There is another batch of short actions with std bolt face expected soon.

WSM bolt face bolts are supposed to be available someday as well, but I'm not holding my breath, I'm guessing late this year.

The short actions should be in in late April according to Marty.

He told me this morning that he will be making one small modification to the bolt stop on the new actions.

They should reduce the firing pin size or offer a reduced size for those of us shooting cases that use small rifle primers. (Like the 6.5x47L.) I get a fair amount of cratering, and have had a couple primers blank on me. Winchester primers seemed to exhibit the least amount of cratering.
