My Bat CT is the smoothest I have put my hands on, I haven't put my hands on a surgeon or defiance tho. Its a big ole boy for sure, but its got 33" inches of barrel hanging off of it. Only thing I'm not real fond of is when I eject a case it will sling it a little farther than I would like. There is no soft ejection like a Remington, I guess the weight of the brass makes it a little worse than normal. But overall I love it. It will not be my only Bat.
Last week, I ordered a long Defiance Rebel with a controlled feed bolt and a three position safety. The cost on it was $1545. The bolt was a $375 option. So with a standard bolt, a Defiance Rebel would be under $1200.

33" inch barrel - that's a beast!
Hmmm that's interesting in regards to the ejection - any chance of posting a vid of it cycling (loading and ejecting)? Sounds like a good action
I have a number of different ones but like the Bighorn action the best. feels and shoots like the Mercedes-Benz of actions. just my own objective opinion.
