The radii around the notch in the front of the magazine well were increased so rounds won't hang up and the front was pushed forward a very small amount to accommodate the OAL that magazine system allows.
Thanks - Ray

Will you be offering a service to add the radii to older actions?The radii around the notch in the front of the magazine well were increased so rounds won't hang up and the front was pushed forward a very small amount to accommodate the OAL that magazine system allows.

We do not have plans to do so. It's a VERY small change so it's something that can easily be done at home or by a competent smith if you don't feel comfortable modifying that area for compatibility.Will you be offering a service to add the radii to older actions?
Yes, this is true for LA Origin as well. If the stock comes up high enough for a port cut then it will most likely need to be extended.Building a LA Origin - haven't sourced a stock yet... trying to weigh my options.
I know Ray posted in this thread a while back that the SA Origin will work in Manners stocks inlet for Rem 700 with some minor modification of the cutout for the ejection port... there's a pic floating around here somewhere. Is the same true for Long Actions? Also - what about stocks inlet for other Rem 700 clones - any insight if they will work?
I emailed Ray/Zermatt as well, so I will update the thread when I hear - but also figured some people here probably have experience.
Perfect, thanks. Are all these rem clones mostly interchangable with slight mods as well... ex: Bighorn in a Impact inlet, and vice versa?Yes, this is true for LA Origin as well. If the stock comes up high enough for a port cut then it will most likely need to be extended.
For the most part. The areas to watch: trigger hanger vs non, bolt release, bolt handle swept vs straight, and ejection port. All can be corrected with Dremel or smith.Perfect, thanks.

Which stock is this? Pretty sick.This one has changed a lot of times simply due to 2 actions, 6 chassis/stocks, 8 barrels and probably 5 different scopes that are all a part of a never ending truffle shuffle...but this one is pretty fun.
Only forseeable change is that I'm considering a VUDU 5-25x with an H59 for the glass. The proximity to the MUNSTER EFR up front means I can't take advantage of the Tenebrex caps.
Zermatt TL3 18" 22 Creed with a 7 twist
Right now I'm testing 69 TGKs for predators, but will likely consider 80-90gr bullets later on.
Trigger Tech Diamond and the Oneill Ops 224 VAPR suppressor for this one and pretty much everything else should be outlined in the picture.

KMW M.A.C.S. chassis from Terry CrossWhich stock is this? Pretty sick.
I don't think that'd make a lot of sense, at least yet, as loaded ammo, let alone dies, brass, etc are not yet available.Has anyone tried doing a 277 Fury build in an Origin Action? Can it handle the cartridges with the metal base?
It seems like one could build a lightweight hunting rig with a short(ish) barrel with that cartridge.

Sig did that short run, but the only gun for it so far was the spear.
I really like the idea, and intended to get a cross when it came out, but they're not even following their own spec with the barrel twist on that rifle and it won't be capable of shooting the bullets I like to use.
31oz.Could someone tell me how much an Origin LA action weighs?
31oz.
Could you give the specs? I really want to build a .280 AI.Thank you.
It looks like my 280AI hunting build will come in right at 7.75 lbs without a scope.

It is pinned as well, should lift off.Hey guys - quick question... google didnt yield any results. I can call zermatt tomorrow but thought I might get lucky on here tonight.
I am building my Origin tonight. I'd like to remove the rail - my barrel vise shims are not tapered, so I'd rather put the metal portion near the tenon in the vise to ensure i get a good hold (it is not tapered either). I cant do that and still mount the action because the rail is in the way.
I unscrewed the rail and that bitch ain't coming apart - and certainly isnt hand right. I assume its pinned, and it seems like its on there pretty good.
Is it easy to knock off with a rubber mallet or am I going to get myself in trouble here?
Ok thanks - unfortunately it isnt.It is pinned as well.

Good idea, tapping didn't work.If tapping on the overhang isn’t working, or you can’t get at it. Install a scope ring or rings on the rail and slip a dowel through, or lapping bar, alignment rods, whatever and use that as a handle to lift it straight up.
The easiest way I've found to remove the rail is to remove all (4) screws and put the front of the rail on a wooden work bench and push down on the receiver. The front pin will pop out with some force then you can wiggle the rail off by hand. If that doesn't work, throw some leather stripping in a vise and clamp on the rail then use an action wrench to gain leverage on the receiver.Hey guys - quick question... google didnt yield any results.

Nothing special really. The Long Action Hawkins Hunter will work fine. The only thing is to check the pillar or bedding block heights to ensure they are the same or nearly the same lengths as the Hawkins pillars sent with the bottom metal.Looking to build a 30-06 on an Origin LA with the Hawkins Hunter. What exactly do I need to have the smith do for this combination to work?
Really diggin that look!!!Origin SA with Helical Diamond bolt knob
22" Proof Sendero prefit............6mm ARC
PVA Jet Blast (3 port 6mm diam brake)
Trigger Tech (July 4th special trigger)
"Greyboe bottom metal"....IE Hawkins
Mesa Precision Arms Altitude stock (Timberline Camo)
Seekins precision Low rings
Bushnell Elite Tactical DMR 3.5-21x50 G4 ret
With less than 80 rounds through the rifle, it's consistently 1/2 MOA or less at 100 and 200 yards with factory Hornady Black 105gr HPBT ammo.
Really happy with this package.
100 yds....Hornady Black. First few groups in the new Mesa Precision stock.
200 yards....Hornady Black.
My palma rifle I built last winter. Origin SA, 31" Bartlein heavy palma 1:7 in .223, .110 freebore for 80's, 88's, and 90's, Eliseo RTS stock. I built this thinking I'd make a across the course/prone rifle combo, but I've never used it as anything but a single shot thus far. It usually wears iron sights for Palma matches (.223 or .308, iron sights only, 300 to 1000 yards), but I've shot it with a scope for midrange matches quite a bit lately.
Best scores so far have been 200-13X at 300 yards, 200-10X at 500, 200-9x at 600, and 196-9X at 1000 yards.

It’s an elisioGonna show my ignorance here……what is that thing?
Looks like a home machined rifle; which would make it even more cool.
If manufactured, who makes it. I would like to read up and learn. Not a big AR guy or chassis gun guy, but that rifle is pretty unique and makes me want to know more.
Apparently it is a Big Horn Origin action inside of the upper “shell system”? Is the upper specifically designed for the Origin or any Rem 700 clone with straight bolt?
PS - please dear lord let me send you a different AR pistol grip. The mil-spec A2 style grip leaves much to be desired on such a unique system.
Very interesting concept. Thank you.It’s an elisio

It's an Eliseo RTS chassis for any SA Remington 700 or clone. I'd say 50% of all the prone rifles you see on the line at high power matches now are in one of Gary's setups. Mine is setup for AICS magazines, but most are set up for single shot actions.Gonna show my ignorance here……what is that thing?

I think it comes down to how the rifle balances, suppressor length and weight, and desired velocity.I've been trying to decide on a 24" barrel vs a 26", I will also be suppressing it. I want to get your opinion on 26" + suppressed. Do you find it to be too long?
