Just curious if an hide members have this action and what their thoughts are. Also would a shouldered prefit work. I love the quick barrel change on the Zeus and was hoping the shouldered barrel I just got for my TL3 would work on it.

I have a Zeus, however, have not shot it yet. Been playing with it. Feeding with AW mags is smooth. AICS/Style mags, if pushed up from the back of the mag, may cause the bolt to bind on the feed lips. However, that may be due to the Chassis i'm using..or not, i dunno. But at least one of my other actions do that too.
You can order a shouldered pre-fit for torquing the bbl on or "hand tight" and use the set screw for switch bbl. I'm not sure if your TL3 bbl will work with the Zeus.
Terminus is also offering the Zeus with torquing the bbl on only...i think it's got more threads.
Hope this helps! Happy New Year!

Mine shipped from my Smith today. I ordered the full thread as I wasn’t interested in quick changing a barrel. I have a barrel vise for that and just preferred more threads. I can’t say for certain but I would guess your tl3 barrel will not work in the Zeus. Shouldered prefits are made for a specific brand action and I’ve never heard of any that can go from one manufacturer to another.
I don't have the Zeus, but I do have the Vector. I have zero complaints about mine. I've put 300 plus rounds through it, taken the barrel off a bunch of times at the range, spun it back on and it held zero.
That said, Joel left Curtis for a reason and the Zeus has been updated/upgraded from the Vector. If you have any questions, give Joel a call. Awesome guy, great customer service, and very passionate about his product.
Your TL3 barrel will NOT work on this action (different tenon). You can however get shoulder pre-fits for the Zeus to be torqued on with a wrench or hand tight with the set screw feature.

Thanks for the info on the barrel, I plan on keeping my TL3 anyway but I’m definitely interested in the Zeus for my next action. Just saw a few days ago Terminus posted some results from one of the customer on their Zeus using the quick change (set screw) system. The groups were impressive.
