The easy button for putting together a custom (semi custom to some) extremely accurate rifle together

I have many of these origin action from Zermatt. I also have their other actions with dedicated recoil lug, And their rimfire action. Add a criterion or Shilen barrel From James at Northland shooters, and you can shoot three shot groups in the zeros, ones, and twos In dozens of cartridges with the right equipment. I’ve got these barrels in Both shouldered And barrel nut configurations. These Origin actions Are the best value in the entire industry in my opinion. Performance vs investment 100%

Awesome Action

I normally don’t write reviews but this action is fantastic for the money! Bolt is super smooth. Receiver threaded perfectly onto a custom pre-fit barrel. Added a TriggerTech diamond trigger. It is a tack driver.

Zermatt Origin

This is a great entry level priced action that has huge pre fit barrel support and selection making it very easy to source barrels and install without a gunsmith. Interchangeable bolt head to allow for future cartridge swaps makes this very flexible for future changes. The mechanical ejector is awesome - run the bolt slowly to lightly eject brass to put back into ammo containers or run it hard and fling the empty cases into the next zip code.

EXCELLENT VALUE

I used one for a 223 build along with an IBI barrel, Whiskey 3 chassis, and a trigger tech primary trigger, Accurate AICS mag. It took about 20 rounds to break in the barrel and it shot around 1 MOA during break-in. After cleaning every 5 shots for the first 20 it will consistently shoot sub 1/2 MOA 5 shot groups with FGMM 69gr and better with handloads. I Love the action and plan on another build with one.

Best action for money

Best action you can get for the price point. Its my second one. Brownells delivered as well letting me back order and had it shipped out in under 2 weeks. You wont be disappointed with this action at all
