Action choice help

[Travelor]

I am not new to F-Class shooting or precision long range shooting, BUT I am a total novice to custom actions. I want to build a 6mmBRX for F-Open shooting at 600 and 1000 yards and need some help on choosing an action.

As we shoot prone, a right bolt, right port action works much better for me tha a right bolt, left port action and it requires me to break position each shot to reload.

I will be using a 8 twist Krieger MTU contour 30" barrel and shooting prone with a Sinclair front rest and Protektor bags. I have not decided on a stock yet as I do not know which actions are compatible with which stock builders, but am leaning toward a Shehane MBR Tracker in Indian Blanket Obeche.

Which Action should I be looking for? I posted it here as I am wanting to get your advice as I consider this "belly bench rest".

What about a BAT action and if so which one?

Thanks,
George

I've built several f-class rifles on Bat B's using 1.250 straight barrels. Cartidges have been 6x47Lapua, 6.5/.284, .284. All have been right bolt right port actions. Stocks have been McMillan f-class, Shehane tracker, and a couple of Manners laminated stocks that I don't know the model as the owner suppoed the stock. The B actions have been round or octagon with no preference on outside shape just whatever could be found in stock at suppliers such as Russ Haydon or Bruno's.
