Bumblebee

Short Repeater Action – Light Weight

We are excited to offer the ultimate solution for all shooters that need a short light weight, premium quality action! The newest version features a shorter 75 degree bolt lift that doesn’t compromise action strength or feel.

The Bumblebee is designed to use Remington 700 Short Action bottom metal. Requires Bumblebee specific inlet to fit this flat bottom action.

The action body is made with a combination of Aircraft grade billet 7075-T6 Aluminum and hardened 4140 Chromoly Steel to gain the best combination of light weight and high strength. This action is 12.2 oz lighter than our comparable VR & TR actions! At 23.0 oz, the weight is very comparable to Titanium actions after you account for Picatinny rails, recoil lugs and the hardware required to mount them. These features are all built into this action!  It is also 31%-42% stiffer than light weight steel actions and over 130% stiffer than round Titanium actions!

The firing pin, bolt and bolt shroud have a Black Nitride coating for smooth bolt movement and low maintenance. A Type III hard anodize with a Teflon coating is used on the action body reduce friction and improve durability. The extraction cam is extended for smooth bolt opening and improved durability.  The bottom cut allows use of most Remington 700 SA components including the ability to run extended Wyatt’s Outdoor boxes and detachable boxes without binder plates. Integral 20 MOA picatinny rail comes standard. This allows easy 100 yard zero and gains the maximum capability of your scope for the long shots. Multiple scope mounting positions accommodate most all scope configurations and eye relief. Note: Some Uni-mount rings are not compatible with this action. These actions have our proven .070 firing pin diameter for maximum accuracy and reliable ignition.

The newest actions use some 75 degree specific components. These new actions started shipping June of 2024. The serial numbers BB0200 and above have the redesigned handle and a hollow bolt knob. A dot on the top ear of the tenon insert is another indicator that an action uses 75 degree lift components.
