Lots of shops are offering prefit now. Hunts long range, altus, mile high, patriot valley, Proof has some specific contours and calibers. I'm sure there are WAY more. Check with your local guy...
what he said ^^^^
I've gotten a prefit from Altus that shot fantastic. and now i'm waiting on a prefit from Paradigm Gunworx.
lots of a guys out there will spin up a shouldered prefit for your Origin! and they don't even need your action in hand.
just need a barrel vice and action wrench to install. easy peasy

I’ve installed two remage barrels on my 700 from criterion, they shot sub 1/2, easy load development, just seeing what guys are having good luck with. Thinking of trying s Hawkhill prefit
basically any smith will do an origin shouldered prefit without seeing the action.
don't hamstring yourself by going with a barrel nut. use that big beefy 1.25" shank

just dont expect to get it for 6-10 months unless you buy it on sale
They are doing better...just got mine in 6 weeks as promised...
Wow. Hopefully that's the norm even if 6 weeks is still long. We'll have to wait and see
Mark Chanlynn is my standard since I don't live too far from him but timing is key. He does different calibers during the year. Has has some fast twist 22 centerfire barrels and is starting on 33 caliber. He is doing a 338-06 barrel for me on an Origin action I just picked up from Big Horn.
This. I had Caleb at Alpha & Omega spin up a shouldered prefit for this 16.5” .243. Any smith worthy of the title should be able to set you up just fine.
Mark is a great guy who makes a great barrel. I 'm currently builiding 6.5 PRC on a Bighorn TLE with one of Mark's barrels.
I can make you one for 550 shipped. Mine will be a shouldered barrel. Lee Gardner Precision
Are they up and running? I know they were making a move from Bluebell, PA to north of Scranton but don't know if new shop is operational yet.

Southern Precision Rifles,(Bugholes), also does the pre-fits for the Origin. Lead time is about 1 month. Greg usually replies to all inquiries (phone/email) within a day or two, as does John from Keystone. Both those guys crank out some barrels and still manage good communications even with a heavy work load.

Northland shooters supply has a large inventory of Criterion and Shilen prefit barrels on the shelf and ready to ship. I’ve had great luck with all of my barrels I’ve purchased from them
He’s definitely still spinning up barrels.
Got mine from him last week and it’s awesome.
I’ve gotten two Shilen barrels from them.
Both have been awesome.
then yours to Bighorn to get timed and your opinion will change
I just screwed on a Criterion prefit from them on a 783. Less than a hundred rounds and 1/2 moa. Glass bedding as we speak. Hopefully .3 is in the future.
Hey I’m interested in the trigger timing for the origin. I heard if you send them the trigger they will time it, is it possible for me to do that and adjust the sear engagement?
Just send the trigger to bighorn and theyll do it before they ship you the action. Easier and cheaper
There's a post somewhere about the measurements you need to make
All the info you seek is in the"ORIGIN Orders" thread here:
