6.5 CREEDMOOR CRITERION AND ZERMATT ORIGIN

65 creedmoor shouldered prefit

Briggs A. of California sent us some photos of his 6.5 Creedmoor Criterion shouldered prefit and Zermatt Arms Origin action build.

Here are some of the parts he purchased from us for this build:

  • Zermatt Arms Origin- Right Hand/Short Action- Nitride Finish With A Competition Bolt Knob
  • 26”- Criterion Shouldered prefit- MTU Contour- 6.5 Creedmoor- 8 Twist with Muzzle Thread
  • Forster Headspace Gauges
  • Zermatt Arms Internal Action Wrench

Here is what Briggs had to say about his build:
“I finally got out to shoot my Zermatt Origin and Criterion prefit barrel that I ordered from you a few months ago. I haven’t developed a load specifically for this rifle yet, but I ran some of my 6.5 Creedmoor 147 ELD-M handloads with Hodgdon H4350 for another rifle through it to get the optic sighted in. I’ll attach pictures of the rifle and a three-round group I shot after the velocities started to normalize after half a dozen or so rounds through the barrel. Very pleased with the rifle’s performance so far.
