    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Make sure you've got grease on the stem of the bolt head inside of the bolt body and around the stem of the shroud inside of the bolt body. These areas are greased in assembly but sometimes people think they need to clean it out. Don't clean it out without replacing it. It could be a burr on...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    That's a really tough question to answer as feel is totally subjective. Does it happen without a round in the chamber as well?

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    If the bolt closes with the barrel installed and does not close with the no-go gauge we supplied, it's perfectly safe to shoot. Thank you - Ray

    Zermatt Arms Medium Action - NEW Addition To TL3, SR3 and Origin Lines

    As far as we're aware, the options for chassis at the moment are Masterpiece Arms and XLR (using Lone Peak inlet). For traditional stocks, Manners, McMillan and AG Composites all have the inletting information and McMillan has produced some for sure. I'm not sure about Manners or AG Composites...

    RimX light primer strikes

    The chamber radius appears to be showing a little in these pictures which would indicate that it's slightly over sized. It may not affect 100% of the rounds, but any inconsistency in the firing pin drop or the primer compound in the brass could create a failure to fire easier than if the chamber...

    Zermatt Arms Ti3

    We're happy to announce that we are adding a titanium receiver to our lineup of actions. This has been something that has been on our list for a few years now and we're happy to finally have the time to produce a lightweight action for customers in search of such a thing. The titanium action's...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    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...

    Thinking about upgrading to a Zermatt Arms TL3

    The biggest subjectivity in torque (in my opinion) is the level of calibration in each torque wrench. How many people's at home torque wrenches go through a regimented calibration schedule? How many are properly stored after use? It might be the most over thought factor in at home rifle...

    Rim X and Trigger Tech Diamond issue

    Is it the trigger pull that's giving you issues or the bolt closure? If it's the trigger pull, I don't know that there's anything in the action itself that can be modified to accommodate a smoother pull. If it's the bolt closure, it's likely as simple as a timing job to eliminate any cock or...

    Who inlets for lone peak/bighorn medium?

    McMillan, Manners and AG all have the information. We have a finished McMillan here but I haven't seen a Manners and have heard than AG is taking longer than expected. If you can find a Lone Peak inlet, it should drop in. Thanks - Ray

    Bighorn Origin Scope Rail Torque

    35 in-lbs would be fine as well. It's not over the top.

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    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. Thanks - Ray
