Looks like it could get hung up in the brush if you took it for a walk

Looks like it could get hung up in the brush if you took it for a walk Walked with it for miles and miles on my Caribou hunt. Didn’t seem to be an issue... John

I don’t see much brush in it😄 Um, that's because, typically, these rifles are/were not really designed for lugging through the bush !

I never knew a rifle had to be specially designed to be lugged through the brush. I just thought that every rifle was capable of doing so. I guess I have been lucky and all my rifles that haven't been designed for it have just accomplished the task.

I don’t see much brush in it😄 That’s because I didn’t shoot the ‘bou in the alders on the creek we had to cross to get up the mountain. I went through the alders, the rifle went with me without complaint. The rifle is superb for what I use it for. John

I read the title as "Beanfield" rifle !! 10lb er's, with 28" barrels, designed for long range from a shooting house Sorry to all those, whose feelers I hurt.

That's an awesome rifle. My 6.5 creed I built 8 years ago has a 24"bart 8 twist and loves 140 berger huntings over H4350. IIRC I run 42g as well.

My first Caribou hunt so I couldn’t say for sure what a lot is. Might have seen a couple of hundred animals over the four days we were out. Probably 1/2 of those were in two groups of about 50ish each that were up the valley a few miles. The rest were in smaller bands of 2-3, up to a dozen animals.

This one is my second build by Jon and I have to agree with you. Not only does he NOT build junk, he builds some of the best rifles available.... anywhere... John

Does the origin have the extractor in the lug instead of m16 or sako style? The thing I don't like about most customs is the ejection angle of the m16 style extractors.
I like the flatter ejection like a standard 700. Too many scopes have too big of windage knobs. I like to mount my scopes as low as I can. I had to take a corner off of my predator and tac 30 aw extractors.
I'll have to look at an origin. I'd like to set one up remage or savage nut style. Maybe I'll go that route for my 22 creedmoor.

Bb The Origin has about as horizontal ejection as it gets. I believe the other CRF Bighorns are the same. John

Nice, and a blade ejector too. Can the floating bolt head be changed from standard to magnum or vice versa?
What are the threads?
Thanks, Bb
