Thanks, that SR3 looks amazing, just like pretty much everything that comes out of SAC's shop. I'm curious to know what cerakote color is on the barrel?
Thank you for the information. I am ordering a prefit barrel and was planning to have it cerakoted by the smith who is chambering it. But I might reach out to DC Precision and pick his brain and see what he recommends.

Everything dropped in almost perfect. The only thing I would change is I wish they had inletted the bolt handle slot another .0125” down. It is very close if not touching when you slam the bolt down. I’m running a Huber 2-stage trigger. I love the set up, especially when shooting it off the tripod. The M-Lok forearm is a plus.

I know its a TL2 but it was new from here on The Hide a couple months back.
Aaron just got it back from coating and did all of the hard work for me so I cant wait to shoot it tomorrow.
Its a sub 500 # Brighton action with a TacSport trigger and PVA barrel.
It weighs 13lbs exactly as pictured. I'm going to try and get the wife to give it a try this spring.

I’ll be picking up my tl3 action tomorrow. I have 2 barrels being made. The 6.5x47 should be here next week and the 223 issf will be a month or two behind. Got a triggertech special to go on it, and it will be sitting in a KRG Bravo, with a weaver tactical 6-30 for glass. I’ll post pics once I get it all together.

Coated and Uncoated TL3's set up in XLR Element chassis for the moment. 6XC, 6Dasher and 6.5PRC Proof Research barrels, Trigger Tech Diamond triggers.
The group is 7 rounds with a "called" flyer (it was me) @ 100 yards with the 6XC

@duramaxed I just sent you a PM regarding the service. We do that as a bread and butter type product, I've cut more Bighorn barrels than I can remember, it's approaching 1000 for just TL3's alone at this point.
@BigHorn / ZAI Team I meant to ask. Since the lug on the ORIGIN isn't integral could someone incorporate a switch lug with the action with relative ease? Since the footprint is 700 based?
Hi Everyone! I am very new to shooting long distance so I am wondering what height scope rings I need?
I have a Bighorn Arms TL3 with a 20MOA rail. I just purchased a Nikon FX1000 6-24 Illuminated MRAD scope that I'm waiting to be delivered. My receiver is currently with my gunsmith who is altering my HS Precision alluminum bedded stock to fit the thicker recoil lug of the TL3 (the stock was originally meant for the Remington TLR) and will also have a Savage 10 FCP-SR 20 inch barrel on it.
I'd like to have the rings as low as possible with that size scope.
Thanks in advance!

I have only read this thread 3 times. Finally put a deposit down for a Minute Man. Josh and Jeremy quoted late May, and I am already itching to get my hands on it. It'll be replacing a Tikka T3 in MPA Chassis that if I cant sell ill keep as a backup or hunting rifle.

Hoping to get out next week to shoot it, work schedule has me tied up.
This is my 5th Proof carbon barrel, I've been nothing but impressed with their performance. They shoot every bit as good as my Bartlein's and they don't walk. I can shoot 20 shot's in a row and not get any fliers and then hold the barrel with bare hands.
I'll do a review of the Barloc after I get some rounds down range and do some barrel swaps. Barrel installation was a breeze. I have a 22 Creedmoor barrel for this one too that I'll be installing shortly to burn down some praire dogs and rock chucks with.

Bit of a loaded question but...
Is anyone running ARC rings on their TL3 with a 50mm objective scope and a M24 (or similar) barrel profile? I have a DMR2 mounted in Seekins low (0.90") rings over a Rem Varmint profile barrel, and I will be moving it to a TL3 build in the near future with a M24 barrel. I am thinking that when I put this scope over the heavier barrel, I am going to be very close to interfering with my scope caps. I am thinking ARC lows (0.94") but I am not sure.
Unless I can find a direct example to lead the way, I will probably just wait till I have the new rig in hand before selecting new rings, if needed at all. Any help is appreciated!

I run TL3 with ARC 0.94 Low rings and a S+B scope with a 56mm objective. The scope will clear the barrel even with a Heavy Varmint contour, though I can't fit scope caps on the Heavy Varmint setup. I can run scope caps with a Heavy Palma, but haven't measured how much extra clearance I have.
With a 50mm objective you should be able to run the low rings just fine.

Thanks you sir. I guess the question now is whether my Seekins low rings will be too close for comfort or if I will need to jump up the extra .04" that the ARC's provide. Secretly hoping for an excuse to pick up a set of the ARC rings... oh my how I long to mount a scope with 4 screws total vs the 12 on the Seekins!
Waiting on my TL3/Proof barreled action and TT trigger to show up...... Got a Manners EH6A, gap sale LRHSi, M-10 lows ready in the wings.
