Are you guys removing the trigger and including it in the box before shipment or just leaving the trigger installed?
ORIGIN Orders
- Thread starter jackinfl
- Start date
I did the same, total turn around was about a week. They even replaced my extractor.
Removing the cocking piece isn't terribly difficult, but it does get a little annoying when you have to do keep tweaking the firing pin length to get full travel out of it. I had ray send me one a while ago and it was strange forward process just a little frustrating with tweaking the firing pin back and forth
I would always err on the side of caution and remove the trigger before shipping.
We will always quote a 10 week minimum on action order confirmations. As many people have found out, the realistic time frame from order date to ship date is right around 3 weeks. Some may be slightly longer and some may be slightly shorter.
Under promise, over deliver.

Such a breath a fresh air in an industry that seems to trend in the opposite direction.
Does this statement cover all actions, or just the Origin? I ordered an SR3 because I failed to realize the Origin is no bueno with a Wyatt's box, so instead of building 1 rifle, I'm building 2!
Origin's only. The other product line is shipping within a week of the quoted ship date on the orders as long as there are no issues with coating.

Just ordered a 6 creed pre-fit from spr yesterday, can't wait to get it all together. Tried getting a proof steel pre-fit and they just told me to call distributors. None of the distributors knew anything about origin pre-fits so just having greg do me a bartlien.
I believe they are referencing bugholes.com or southern precision rifles.
Yeah, i got the email notification of your comment and was wondering who got to it first. as long as the question is answered is all that matters.
If you need a 6mm barrel, Keystone just posted this:
@padom can give you the lowdown if you look at his posts with accuracy testing.
I asked Keystone to spin me a barrel and even though not was a pretty simple choice, he was very attentive and very prompt.
Also, I have an Origin and it helps knowing that he's been attentive about it even to the extent of being engaged with Bighorn about headspacing and making sure you get it right.

So far, so good.
6 Creed, 110smk, H4350
About 2990 FPS
This was about 85 rounds into the barrel. This is one of their Kreiger barrels though.
Great turnaround time too.
Shot my origin again yesterday. It’s so nice to have an action that doesn’t get it the way while shooting. Just smooth feeding and ejection.
Shot mine both days this weekend too for load development and fireforming brass. Surprisingly, the light strike issue I was having didn't come back. Fired 100 rounds and all went off just fine. Might not send it back to Bighorn just yet then. Also, had many group that shot submoa, and a few that were half inch with single digit SD. Settling on one that does just under half inch with an SD of 6. 42.0 gr of H4350 pushing a 140 ELD, 6.5 creedmoor, 26" Kreiger chambered by Keystone. I also checked headspace given the posts, and mine was spot on using a PTG go gauge and wouldn't close on it with a piece of scotch tape on the back. I'm happy.
Ordered my Origin with a second bolt head 3/3/19. Got the email for payment this morning ready to ship. Just called in and paid up and its on the way to my FFL. Under 2 weeks from order to ship.
A little hesitant to post my mediocre origin build but none the less I'm excited to shoot this thing. I plan on changing things such as the barrel and chassis after I shoot matches this year but fist things to change will be the scope and bipod. As of now I'm happy with how cheap its been and I think itll be killer when I know what i want.
Savage 12fv 6.5 creed barrel (free)
Bushnell 6-24 ET
Krg Bravo
Ghost trigger (will replace with tt special)
Will add an atlas w/rrs dove tail.

No shame in the bravo chassis game, they are solid and just work. I was going to swap mine out for a MPA but it ain't broken so why fix it.
Hey my build is going very similarly, got a savage barrel super cheap, put the origin on order on Monday. Plan to grab a bravo when they are back in stock.
Its about getting out and shooting; there will always be something you need or want, but if your not shooting who cares.
You might be surprised. I still shoot a 12 FV 22-250, in an aftermarket stock of course, that still shoots 1/4" regularly, and had been doing single hole 5 shot groups for 1200+ rounds. Of course, also had a 204 ruger 12FV that wouldn't shoot worth a crap. But you might be able to run with that barrel and get good results...
But looks nice.
Just picked my Origin up from my FFL today. Got both 223 and 224V bolt heads. Have a Bugholes 26" MW 223 Rem Match prefit and Bighorn not I'll screw on to test it out. Waiting in reamer and barrels for my 224V bolt gun project.
Got mine thrown together tonight: 26” bartlien m24 contour in 6creed, barrel work by Southern Precision Rifles . Razor amg. Tbac ultra 7. Krg bravo. TT diamond trigger. Weight is 13.12# without can. Put 40 rounds down it tonight and it flat shoots. Loving it so far
I shipped my origin to Keystone on 3/11 and I received it yesterday, barreled, 3/25. That's 2 weeks including transit time both ways.
Total cost was $494 with shipping for a GM 22" Origin shouldered prefit, muzzle threaded, and John also did me the courtesy of measuring the headspace on both of my boltheads I sent to him.
Given the shit show with PVA and the nucleus redesigns, etc, this makes me even happier that I put my money down on the Origin versus the Nucleus last January.
Absolutely. It may take me a bit, and I'm not sure how interesting it'll be since it was only a .223 Wylde, but I'll give results.
