I am number 8 on the preorder list at Altus. But I had to call, to do it.....
In at #2. 
Where am I at??????
Pretty interesting there are threads bashing companies knocking off atlas and RRS.
No one seems to take issue with two companies knocking off vudoo mags.

Its an AICS Mag that feeds rimfire rounds. If anyone is gonna go that route they will look similar cause it fits an AICS bottom metal. Now side by side there noticeable differences. Should we start bashing anyone who makes an action with a Remington 700 footprint cause it’s not the original? Atlas and RRS are a different story cause in most cases it’s essentially a direct copy or infringement on a patent.
I for one am super excited. I think the boo doo is a great product but they won’t sell you just an action. Rim fire chambers can be very personalized. I chamber several rim fire barrels in my shop every year for customers and ever single customer has different specs or requests. Rim fire chambers are a bit different deal than center fire. I want to know what I’m shooting!!
Big horn has the best center fire action on the market in my opinion so this is a no brainer for me. My order is in!!
Anyone interested in a stiller 2500XR Lol.

No they don’t. I’ve talked to them many times about it
At shot show last year I met with the boo doo guys. Great people and I’m sure it’s a great product but they wouldn’t sell me just the action. I called a couple months back and still no go
Yes they do. They didnt for a while but have for the last 8 months or so. Keystone Accuracy has 2 of them in stock right now. A left and a right hand.
It's from the R700 footprint (ie: swept handle). Should fit MPA or other true R700 inlets, might be funky in others that are inletted for other customs. I had to do some filing on an XLR once because theirs are exact fit inlets.
Ditch the swept bolt handle and make it like the TL3.
You are wrong in too many ways to even point out.
This is typically how it goes. When a Chinese company infringes on patents, it’s the end of the world.
When companies like NF and Bighorn possibly infringe, it’s ok because people like their other products.
The whole idea of patents is to give the company a monopoly for a certain period of time so they can recoup their R&D costs and make a profit. No profit and no money for future R&D. And no firearms company I know is non-profit, at least by design. However, if a company's R&D is RipOff and Duplicate, to use MB's term, they do not have the expense and do not need a patent. Other companies do not have to remain inactive. They can do true R&D to develop a superior product and leapfrog the company with the original product.
Lets not help this devolve into monday-morning qb's talking about about patent law.
If it comes out that it is a direct infringement of Vudoos parent, which to my understanding is all conjecture so far, then I certainly will not support the RimX and put my money elsewhere (most likely Vudoo).
It's not a thread on who did some boobo to who , or who has the more sand in it's junk. Mags are mags and look like mags because it's freaking mags...
Let's keep it on the RimX.
Why can't people be just happy with developpment and growing in the offering...

I asked them this at SHOT, and they said yes, you can dry-fire it without worry.
What's the planned caliber for everyone who's preordered?
I realize you can change calibers with a barrel swap and possibly a bolt head...but is the plan for most to go .22LR first or maybe 17 WSM?

22 lr for me. But when the WSM is ready, I'll do a new bolt, barrel and mags.
To me it looks to have the same swept bolt angle as the Origin
Yeah, I agree that stock looks custom cut for the bolt. No regular production stock/chassis is ever that tight around the bolt handle.
However, that has no impact on how it will fit in any other stock/chassis. As it looks like it will fit anything an Origin fits.
What did I miss?
Every stock or chassis = nope
So that's what I missed? Because it only fits 95% of the options out there that's unacceptable?
The bolt handle angle on the RimX is the exact same as an Origin.
Thanks - Ray

We went to the swept handle on the Origin because that was what the overwhelming majority of the public had indicated they wanted. We kept it on the RimX because it's a more direct fit than a straight handle into Remington 700 inlet stocks.
We understand there's a desire for a straight handle, but from what we hear, that desire is less than that of the swept handle.
Thanks - Ray
Little Update. We got @Frank Green over at Bartlein barrels making a 22LR blank for this RimX action review that the awesome crew over @Zermatt Arms will be sending over. The barrel will be chambered using my own custom reamer I had Manson make. The same reamer used to chamber the custom fit Bartlein on my CZ 455/MDT ACC which is hammering right now out to 500yds.
I have a Bix'n Andy TacSport Pro 2 Stage with Flat trigger shoe on the way for this RimX review.
Just got off the phone with Doug @gr8fuldoug over at Cameraland. He hooked me up with a Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 APRS1 Mil to put on this RimX for the review! As always, Big thanks to Doug and Cameraland for the excellent service. There is a reason I buy all my glass from Doug @ Cameraland. Its quick and painless with excellent customer service.
Once everything is received and put together I will start a new thread for the review itself.

Maybe you could enlighten all of us as to what your issue is instead of being so confrontational...
I never preoder anymore - what does that have to do w/ your hostility?
So what's your issue w/ the RimX that were "too lazy" to see?
Keystone will be doing mine with my custom reamer.
I just looked at my MDT LSS-XL gen2 chassis and it has a chamfer on the aft side to accommodate the swept back bolt. Anybody have any photos of the bolt face area.? That sounded interesting! Let me ask this. I have a Vudoo and
I have had what can only be described as phenomenal customer support from Mike, Jill and Paul to name a few.
It is in fact the best support I get for any of my guns! IE: Walther, HW, FWB, Anschutz etc. What CS does RimX offer?
btw.... she looks like a very nice piece of iron.
So what is the wait time on this bad boy??
Zermatt / Big Horn have always gone way above and beyond what you would expect, Ray it great to deal with.
This beauty just showed up from @Frank Green (Bartlein). Everything is in hand for the review and testing. Just waiting on the RimX
Bartlein 22LR
25" Blank
1.25" Straight ready to be contoured

Do you contour your own barrel or bartlein do
Contour it when chambering. Keystone Accuracy will be doing it. Will be done to M24 contour
We can and normally do contour the barrels for the customers. Unless it's something out of the ordinary the contouring of the blank is no extra charge.
Later, Frank

Just to make this easy and quick on Frank I just told him I would contour it. There is no other reason other than that.
Looking through other post has anyone seen extreme small groups out of a VuDoo? I haven’t
This is probably somewhat of a touchy subject, but do we think/know if the Rim-X will function with Vudoo mags? I have a Vudoo, and I have a Rim-X on order. The Rim-X mags are listed on Bison Tactical for $125, love to be able to use my Vudoo mags.
Ok what specs on a barrel do i need to
Get ordered so I’m ready to set this thing up for this action
