Since the Barrett looks to be a no go. Came across thisPreorder now - but will have lefty models. I like the idea of rem700 footprint. And i have an Excalibur 6.5cm small shank savage barrel already to fit it. Any opinions? On sale now for pre order.

Looks like a nice action to me. Had no need but was still tempted.

Bighorn makes high quality actions and the ability to use a profit barrel is nice.

Tl3 doesn't have much if anything on the Origin. They knocked it out of the park on this one. If I didn't just get a TL3 I'd be all over it.

This is an interesting option. May give this a go.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

So.... $100 deposit. What is the final, all up cost for the action ? Looked twice. But, missed it if it was on the website...

Pinned rail floating/changeable bolt face toolless firing pin removal firing pin won't need bushed tolerances so tight your gunsmith doesn't need the action to headspace fits Rem 700 stocks with minor fitting (ejection port) uses Rem 700 aftermarket triggers (huge selection) Controlled Round Feed Fixed blade ejector threaded changeable bolt knobs Salt bath nitride finish I'm probably forgetting something, but you get the idea. It's a really good deal.
