13 - 3 lug actions barnard and bat.
7 - 2 lug actions.
Possibly our preference for 3 lug actions is both price AND availability?
Price & availability are big factors, but if they (3 lug actions) did not perform to users expectations they would have lost popularity pretty quick, but from what I see on the firing point the opposite would seem to be the case.

I'm far from against a 3 lug Barnard. In fact I'm in the process of having the gun plumber assemble one as we speak
The main factors for going down this path against another BAT were price and availability of the action and also parts. Everything from springs, rails, stocks etc etc are much cheaper and more available which provides versatility and also a level of redundancy should a failure occur.

Wheatherby is not alone in that game. They can be considered as 3 lugs with each 3 segments.
Parting the lugs is said to increase the lugs bearing area (when they can obtain them all to bear evenly) but in turn reduce drastically the lugs shear area.
