Bighorn Build from a first timer

[texjitter]

Good morning! New guy here just wanted to post up my first bolt gun build using a Bighorn Origin, Krieger 6mm Creedmoor 18” barrel and a Grayboe Phoenix stock. This is my “do anything in Texas” rig.

Looking forward to getting involved in the community and learning all I can

Great looking rifle you need to let’s us know how it shoots.

Specs on the barrel? Did you have to custom order?

That is one sexy rifle there sir! I also built my first bolt gun this week with a origin. I think I'm in love, I'm going to have some high end ar's on the chopping block soon lol

Looks good, do you know what your stock weight is?

Very nice rifle; should serve you well as a “do anything in Texas“ rig.

Considering your SR5 in the background; now it’s time to jack it up a few inches and put some BFG KM3 or KO2 285’s on it. It would be your “do anything off-road in Texas“ rig. Would make a great pair.

Nice! I couldn’t tell from the front. MT’s are good tires, I use to like the way their Baja Belted looked, but I’ve never run them. I’ve got Falken Wildpeaks on my ‘16; I got them for their great winter driving characteristics as this vehicle spends most of its time around Chicago unfortunately. I picked it up used with 22,000 miles on it March 2020 for a song; have had offers for $8,000 more than I paid for it…….crazy.

Sorry to hijack your Bighorn thread, I’ve got all the parts to put together a rifle with a Origin short action, but life keeps getting in the way. I might get it together this summer. It has a 6.5 PVA M24 barrel and KRG-B stock.

What lift did you put on your 4 Runner?


Here‘s my 4 runner:

That looks great! I just have a 2” RC level on mine. Its a 2020 that still needs a roof rack and lots of other accessories

 

[KYAggie]

It’s a process that takes time, there’s a lot of stuff that can be added. I do like my roof rack. It’s a LFD Offroad full powder coated stainless rack. Built like a tank and easy to install. Here’s a front shot. My ladder is from Baja Offroad, I picked it up on a 15% off Father’s Day sale.

That’s a nice looking rifle! How are you liking that stock? I researched it when it first came out but ended up going a different route.
