Big Horn action

[JGorski]

I couldn't warm up to the Manners stock so I changed it out.

I just got it back from a bedding job in a Rocksolid stock.

Very nice, that rock solid stock wouldn't work too well if I were to use that rifle for 600BR next year. For a tac match it would work great. How does it shoot at longer ranges?

It does well out to 800 yards groups much better at 5-600 if the shooter does his part. I plan to do some work this weekend if the weather stays nice...

What does the floating bolt head do exactly,

Thanks,

The floating bolt head, allows greater and more consistent lockup, also allows caliber exchanges easier as you can swap out the bolt face instead of having dedicated bolts

Can a BigHorn action utilize a barrel nut?

Can a BigHorn action utilize a barrel nut?

Yes, I have one on mine.

I have one set up to accept savage barrels.

I"m having my second Big Horn rifle built by the same guy who built the first. I made a terrible mistake of cerakoting the action. Don't do it and if you must, leave the raceways/bolt alone. I believe for a non-inletting requirement you should go for the standard tang option and not the thicker one (on the tactical) if you want a flush finish. My second build is in a Rock Solid and the smith said the concentricity of the action was good enough to not require bedding. That's impressive. When I get round to having a third rifle built in LA (probably a 30-06 to go with the 6.5CR and .223) it will be on a Big Horn. I've had other rifles, including TacOps and I see no reason to go to another platform.
