[QUOTE="jsmitt6, post: 2708851, member: 116361"] I did this twice last year.. One with a Tikka Action and one with a Bighorn Origin. Both actions have their positives and negatives, I certainly like the Origin as it is a touch smoother, as well as the trigger (triggertech special) is much better than a Tikka with Mcarbo spring. Keep in mind, if you do a traditional stock on the Origin rather than a chassis, you will be adding at least $100-$200 for bottom metal. You'll notice you are above $2k for each offering and only you can decide if you want to justify the additional $$ to get into the custom action game. If I were to do it again, I would do the Bighorn Origin again but YMMV. Here are the cost breakdowns of each: Tikka Action Stainless/Fluted bolt/Bottom Metal/Mcarbo Spring - $800 Proof PreFit- $900 Mesa Altitude Stock- $625 20 moa Pic Rail- $50 Total: $2375 Bighorn Origin- $1000 TriggerTech Special- $200 Proof Prefit- $900 MPA UltraLite Chassis- $750 M5 Magazine- $85 Total: $2935 [/QUOTE]
