Any magnums out there? Everything work ok? (Saum/PRC/WSM)
Anyone have a good source for proof prefits? Having trouble finding some.
Carbon or steel because stockys has carbon tl3 prefits, just need to get a hunts long range lug and your all set
This place does proof pre fit barrels. https://straightjacketarmory.com/product-category/pre-fit-barrels/

This is an awesome build! Props to you for getting/keeping your kid involved!!
I need to try to save up to do something like this for my wife. She is pretty small frame, and the package you put together here looks perfect for someone her size.

Altus Shooting Solutions does Proof Carbon Prefits. Great people I’ve there! I’ve got all mine from this far and cannot speak highly enough of them.
you want it now or 2020Awesome builds gents. My next purchase will be an origin for a 223 trainer. Already have tl3 and SR3 builds. I’m trying to decide if I should try a pva barreled action or an origin with a criterion prefit...... hmmmm decisions
go read the hancock thread and black friday barrel thread. then make an informed decision.Is it really that long?
Will do thank you
I really like this build. I am working on something currently that is very similar for my 10 year old son. He has a bunch of bench rifles I build him, but had to use an old H&R break action 223 last year to take his first deer. Went with a 16.5" carbon six barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor, 1/8 twist as well, so basically same as yours but different brand. We'll have to get the kids together and have a shootout to see who makes the better barrel.Just got this put together yesterday. Built it up for my 12 year old daughter as a hunting / range gun.

Waiting for a couple of reloading things but when i shoot it and get the load developed I’ll post the groupsThat’s a sexy build. How does the proof ss shoot?
I know a few people running BR variants in bighorn actions and they all run like champsHey guys I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a origin for my wife’s build. It will be a 6br and I plan on running the 6br mdt mags. Anyone run this setup or see any potential feeding issues. It will be in an XLR carbon chassis.
Wanted to post up on one of my two origins. This one is setup for hunting.

Gun weighs 8 pounds scoped without bipod. Checked zero today at 200 yards. Running 140 accubonds over H1000, 3035 fps. As for how it shoots, see my zero check below. At most 5 seconds between the shots and a light contour. Couldn't be happier.
Who opened up your action for the wyatts extended?
MHSA did it since they're local. They did an ok job, but I had to go in with a file and clean up the back end as the rounds were catching on where they had cut instead of the feed rails. They had cut for the box but didn't punch all the way through to the raceway, if that makes sense. Wasn't a big deal, but it is one of the things Wyatt goes over in his how to video for the extended boxes. Otherwise it was easy, didn't even have to touch the bolt stop.
I don't have anyone local so I may see what LRI has to say. I'm sure they would do it right....and relatively quickly. I'm ready to get this build done.
nope. it'll feel different for the reasons you mentioned. but not inferior.Question for the origin owners. I currently have a Curtis axiom that I absolutely love. I started with an RPR, so running the axiom feels like a sewing machine. I am wanting to start a 223 build and am leaning to the origin cuz I wanna try a different custom action , and of course the price point is attractive.
Do you guys think the origin will feel inferior or like a "budget" action in any way to the axiom?
I know they obviously are two different animals (3 lug vs 2, crf vs ptf etc) but I don't wanna make this purchase then end up regretting it thinking it's not as nice as the Curtis.
Any input appreciated
The 223 I'm planning will be strictly a range gun for target shooting. Krg bravo chassis.
20" 1/7 barrel. 223wylde if any of that matters.
Love your set up.Following protocol I can see so I’ll state the obvious lol

None at all, I had a minicyclone from pro precision rifles on my rem 700 223 and loved it so when I saw it was an option for the origin I jumped on it.Love your set up.
Planning my Origin build now in 223AI. Trying to decide what knob to get with it and noticed you're one of the few people I've seen run the spiral. It's between that or the helical diamond. Any regrets getting the smaller spiral?
