Where The Actions Are

Bighorn Arms has already made a name for itself with two top precision rifle actions for the Remington 700 footprint, but the best may be yet to come.

Bighorn Arms likes to keep things simple. When your goal is to design and manufacture the most important component of the most popular rifle action in the world, it makes sense to do it right the first time before you move on to other product offerings.

Up until now, largely because of that singular focus, Bighorn has offered just two rifle actions; the SR2 – for the serious hunting enthusiast – and the TL2 – for the tactical operator looking for a magazine-fed tack driver. But that’s all about to change.

The Bighorn brand was created by gunsmith A.J. Goddard and originally produced out of his one-man shop in Brighton, Colo. After developing a large – and patient – following for these top-ofthe-line actions, customer orders began to significantly outstrip production.

To help fill demand without reducing quality, Bighorn has significantly increased its production capacity via a new partnership with Zermatt Arms Inc. (ZAI) of Bennet, Neb. According to Bighorn literature, this new partnership was designed to take full advantage of ZAI’s "incredible machining capability with state-ofthe-art equipment and several years of experience within the firearm and aerospace industries."
