    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.

    It’s got the steel rail “max rail” lighter fill in the rear end and I believe the heavy fill in the forend

    Still contemplating a savage 10fp in 308.

    Looks awesome and makes me really wish I didn’t sell mine

    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.

    223 Rem Bolt/Trainer Loads

    I found something similar with the 75ELD-M, only ran one powder load through my replacement barrel but they definitely didn’t like getting pushed in the 2950 range. I tried some 80SMK and they shot impressively better a bit slower but I can always dial more elevation.

    Ammunition evaluation and sighting in question.

    I haven’t bought factory ammo in ages, so I haven’t been keeping up on what it’s actually costing but I will say my reloading cost has gone up a bit.

    Ammunition evaluation and sighting in question.

    Once I find a couple suitable loads I’ll go out to 200 and possibly 300 if it’s a calm wind day just to get that extra data

    Ammunition evaluation and sighting in question.

    I’d also do a 5 shot group just because it’ll give you a larger sample size and I’d send at least 50-100 before really trying to get solid data.

    School me on 223 AICS mags

    223 is a weird one and I don’t know why, either it works or is doesn’t. I know single feeding my TL3 is a slight pain because the rounds don’t sit high enough and I have to get them started into the chamber but yet it feed great from a magazine 🤷
