BAT Machine has long been regarded as one of the benchmark manufacturers of precision rifle actions in the world. Founded by Bruce Thom and rooted deeply in the benchrest tradition, the company built its reputation on uncompromising machining standards, mechanical consistency, and a refusal to cut corners in pursuit of production volume. BAT actions became a fixture in disciplines where absolute precision matters most, including Benchrest, F-Class, and other forms of long-range competition. In recent years the company has also expanded into the PRS space, developing actions designed to meet the demands of modern precision rifle competition while maintaining the same standards that built the brand. Over time the company expanded its designs to support a wider range of shooting disciplines while maintaining the same core philosophy that built its reputation. Every action is engineered with an emphasis on rigidity, repeatability, and long-term durability, which is why BAT continues to be trusted by top competitors, custom rifle builders, and serious shooters around the world.
