    Zermatt Origin or Defiance Classic

    I say go with anything from Zermatt, I’ve been running an origin since its release in like 2018 and it’s never let me down. The only issue I’ve ever had was bending the threaded stud that attaches the bolt handle to the bolt body, granted I literally had to beat the bolt open with a lump hammer...

    Contacting criterion barrels

    I was talking to Evan before he switched me over to Mike for the warranty since he handles that along with the R&D stuff. I could and probably should call the office but I feel kind of weird calling for some reason, might be I’m so used to email correspondence for my job.

    Contacting criterion barrels

    Anyone been able to get in contact with them recently, I’ve got a barrel in for a warranty replacement and it’s been radio silence for a while. I was in constant contact with them for a while but now it’s like they vanished or my emails are not getting to them.

    Which action has highest barrel availability?

    I thought I was bad with the whole range from zermatt minus the Ti3 but you sir put me to shame

    Which action has highest barrel availability?

    My vote is an origin, you’ve got the option of TL3 prefit with the HLR lug, origin prefit and a savage small shank with barrel nut setup. Then add in the the 700 foot print/trigger compatibility, CRF with mechanical ejector that is case length blind which is nice for short cases since it’s not...

    Are match barrels worth it for a “new to precision” shooter?

    Not a problem, I’ve got a barrel from PBB and they chambered it with I believe the lapua reamer from pacific tool. Now does it shoot sk/lapua like a champ, that it does but its shot its best group ever with eley team. So just because its chamber is tailored to a specific ammo doesn’t always mean...

    Are match barrels worth it for a “new to precision” shooter?

    Usually just a tighter chamber in production rifles, in custom barrels it depends on who’s reamer it is will have different chambers geometry in the “throat” sometimes they will tailor it towards a specific brand of ammo ie. SK/Lapua or Eley

    Hard to beat the MTR for the price tag

    Barrel Swapping from Bergra to R700?

    It’s a fair ask, I mean it’s a 700 clone and has some cross compatibility

    Barrel Swapping from Bergra to R700?

    Also I believe the B14 is metric thread on top of all the other things that won’t let you swap them

    223 Rem Bolt/Trainer Loads

    If I can get half that barrel life and stay 1/2moa I’ll be thrilled, which shouldn’t be to difficult but still a solid amount of rounds.
