New Bead Blast Origin

[RFutch]

Kinda cool, like the original Bighorns. This may be enough of an excuse to order another.

Well, I'm glad I built my rifles when I did because I can't afford to build one now.

 

[DangerRanger]

Did they raise the price and remove the nitride coating at the same time?

 

[RFutch]

Pretty sure they are the same price.

Got ya sorry I thought they were like 825 or 875 or something like that

 

[Shoots 700's]

Everything has gone up in price

they were

then changed to stainless steel

then price increase cause everything is more expensive now

 

[DangerRanger]

yeah not huge at all considering inflation and materials price increase, plus it appears nitride is still an offering at the 900$ price point, just NSS is offering bead blast at the same price

Price increased from $825 to $875 MSRP/MAP. I assume the $900 price tag is because it's exclusive to Northland and because Supply/Demand. Not a terrible upcharge if they can actually get them to you reasonably quickly.

nope.

$900 is the new MSRP/MAP for short action, $1000 for medium and long

From Zermatt's site:


DEPOSIT ONLY – BALANCE DUE PRIOR TO SHIPMENT
SHORT ACTION $900 | MEDIUM and LONG ACTION $1000

Thanks for the correction. I love my Origin but at $900 I'd probably prefer an integral recoil lug.

What does an integral recoil lug provide that a pinned/keyed lug doesn't? Do you not find the option to change recoil lug thickness and run different barrels a benefit?

 

[Pvt.Donut]

Mainly being able to swap barrels without removing the action from the stock/chassis.

 

[srt-4_uk]

Why can't you do that with an origin where the lug is pinned?

 

[Gtscotty]

Huh, that's interesting. Functionally I prefer having the nitride treatment, but that does look pretty sharp.

Why pay more for a non nitride action? Craziness......I like my origin quite a bit, the price point and fact it has nitride vs dlc of the tl3 was why I went that way.
