[QUOTE="ElCazador, post: 2702248, member: 119877"] Excellent choice! You will love it. Zermatt will send you an action wrench with your Origin if you ask for one. Then you only need to buy a barrel vise. Here are my suggestions for that: If you want the mac daddy of vises, go to Short Action Customs. They actually have two - the Bravo is more than adequate for you and unless you really get into rolling your own and switch barrels a lot, you won't need their modular one. If you have the cash to burn, it's really nice though and makes quick work of things. I personally use the Viper Barrel vise with my Origin and if you're really only going to use it once to build your rifle, you can't beat the price (plus I use Inline Fabrication's brilliant reloading bench system and they have a custom plate for the Viper I use - they can custom make a plate for any vise though so it wasn't a huge factor). I love the durable powder coat finish, it looks very nice, and I've talked with Bob, "the Viper" Pastor who makes them and is a super great guy. Some of the online sites like Brownells incorrectly spec the max OD barrel diameter it can handle is 1" but the correct OD diameter max is 1.35" (Bob actually tells me you can go up to 1.5") - plenty for your Proof barrel. PMA tool makes a nice one too that's unfinished aluminum and almost identical to the Viper (Bob might even make it for them). [/QUOTE]
