You must have the Savage large shank and you need the Savage small shank. Looks like a nice build.
Didn’t read through everything to see if it has been mentioned but hunts long range came out with a recoil lug to use with the origin in order to headspace properly using TL3 shouldered prefits. There is a video up on their FB page where they talk about it. Very cool option.
What kind of magazines has everyone been running? Are the feed ramps cut at all to allow longer c.o.a.l? Any issues with mags that dont have a binder plate?
I had to file the lips on my magpul AI to use them if they had pressure of them (Barricade,Bags, ETC.) Thats with a Mcmillan A5 and surgeon bottom metal. I love the MDT 12 round mags! they feel so smooth and feed great!
Will proof barreled Origin actions be available direct from Bighorn in the near future?
I'll take a 16.5" 6.5 Creedmoor.

Just ordered an Origin. Lefty!
FRIDAY, I tried to order a shouldered prefit from PROOF. Sales said not available at this time. No further information. I did order 2 barrels and will have local smith fit them for me.
Who you using locally? I’m a little north of you in Martin County.
It's easy: Log in > Search "Proof" > Click Proof Research Logo > If you haven't earned your certification, review and test > Click "Shop" > Click "Bighorn Pre Fit"
I sent in my Origin and Huber trigger this week. Just got off the phone with Robbie that it’s done and I should see it early next week! Perfect! I should have all my parts and tools by then!
The @BigHorn / ZAI Team is an awesome group of people! Ray got my action/trigger and had it timed same day. Robbie processed the payment and had it shipping back to me the next day. Bravo!
I'm going the DIY route because i hate taking my gun apart and being without lol.
ordered a spare cocking piece from Robbie yesterday, shipped it out same day.
will be a week or two before i have the chance to try it
+1 on the bighorn team being top notch

Bighorn rocks. Robbie is super helpful and fast. Whoever timed mine did it the same day. Everyone there is fantastic.
How is yours after the timing?
Can someone tell me how to time it myself? I really don’t want to send it back
Basically file the cocking piece ramp at the SAME ANGLE until it improves. Take off a little at a time and check it by reinserting/cycling the bolt. I did mine and it improved dramatically. Back quite a few pages in this thread there is more discussion and pictures about it from reubenski.
Thanks to their ^ footwork

What barrel and barrel nut did you go with?
No idea on what barrel he used but it looks like he used the Big Horn barrel nut.

Specs?
Everything besides the scope and bipod and suppressor I used certs I have gotten from various competitions. It’s an MPA Hybrid folder chassis, Bighorn Origen in 224V, 26” 1:6.5 Criterion barrel, Huber trigger.
It’s a Bighorn barrel nut
Thank you!
Anyone else see this?
I know mine was a smidge short of closing on a go Gage. I wonder if other vendors are having issues too.

Just saw it as well. Shot John an email to see if my Origin that he did last year still has the specs for any future barrels or if I'll need to send the action back.
Did you send in your action to be fitted, or did he just do a prefit based on the nominal?
Mine was just based on the nominal and would up about a thou tight.
I just sent my origin in to John. I have no problem sending the action in to ensure proper fitment. Then he will have my specs and can spin up another perfect fitting barrel.
Another plus is John is very fast at what he does so you won’t have to wait for months like some other shops.

Definitely agreed. He spun up my first barrel in less than 2 weeks.
I will probably do the same and have him document the receiver when this one starts heading south.
Well that sucks. One of the reasons I went with this was because of shouldered prefits and not having to send the action everywhere.
Looks like my savage barrel nut is here to stay. Really wanted shouldered prefits though.
Ahhh understood, that's very helpful. Looks like at the click, I'm at 0.070. I'll aim for 0.075!
Thanks!
Just how much the firing pin sticks out. But nope, it doesn't checked. What I noticed though was the "clicked" firing pin protrusion measurement kept reducing the more I filed, so in a way it was as if the measurement with the bolt closed was chasing the measurement of the "clicked" position. Also seemed the like "clicked" position became more pronounced when entering the click. Either way, what I had measured as 0.070 in click, ended up moving down to 0.050 in click. I stopped filing when the closed position was at 0.060. And wow, big difference in feel. Hopefully not light fires!
One of the reasons I purchased this action was due to the tight tolerances and it’s ability to accept pre-fits
I've been lusting over a TL3 so long now, I guess sometimes it's good to be poor.
