    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    I am thinking about building one in .280 AI. My current plan is to use a prefit barrel from Criterion. I plan to use AI mags. The question I have is will I have any problems getting the barrel nut to fit into most of the chassis or stocks available?

    280 ai

    I just re-barreled my Savage High Country. I went with a 24" 1-8 Proof CF. 57.0 Gr of Staball under a 162 ELD-X gave me 3043 FPS and 1/2 MOA 59 Grains of H4831 Under a 168 Accubond LR gave me 2840 and 5/8 moa. I will be doing some more testing in the near future. This round really seems to...

    Suppressors Nomad Ti and heat

    I had to heat my suppressor up a bit to break the thread locker. I got it a bit warm. Did I just ruin it?

    280AI vs 6.5PRC

    In my experience the 7's from 160 grains on up will easily perform with a comparable 30. With the higher BC of the 7mm bullets, a .280 will hold its own against the smaller 300 mags. Ie win. Mag and short mags.

    280AI vs 6.5PRC

    I own and have hunted with both. I am also a hunting guide out here in the west. I have a rule when hunting elk. You must shoot a 160 grain bullet at the minimum. I also prefer to have my speed at impact at 1800 or higher. The .280 AI is capable of at or very near the same velocities as the...

    Is this action, toast? (Resolved)

    I will most definitely be getting a Zermatt Action for my next build. This thread just cemented that choice for me.

    I have a Savage Ridge warrior 6.5 and a high country .28 AI. Both are great and shoot under 5/8 moa all day. Both lift is really not bbad.it seems on par with my Remington 700.

    Rifle Scopes NXS 2.5-10 vs Razor 1-10

    I have 4 of the Gen3 1-10 on various hunting rifles. I actually have 2 extra sitting here as well. I probably should sell the extras as I don't need another hunting rifle. Or do I??? Either way. I love mine.

    Savage Elite Precision vs Ruger Precision

    Of those I would take the Savage. I had the Savage and the Ruger. I sold the Savage prematurely due to the fact that I couldn't justify both. I regret the decision. My buddy bought it and it consistently shoots 3/8 MOA with multiple loads. My Ruger is capable but is very finicky about ammo...

    In the last 5 or 6 years they have really nailed down the accuracy pretty well.

    Need recommendations on a 10-10.5 inch 300 blackout barrel

    I have a Robinson XCR-L with the pistol brace and 11.5" barrel. The damn thing shoots .7 moa. It has been incredibly reliable. I am completely satisfied with it.

    I have 2 of them. I plan to sell one and will most definitely keep the other. So far it looks like it will be a great optic.
