Hey Roksliders!
So over time I have been purchasing rifle components to do my first custom build. Currently I have a Zermatt Arms Origin Long Action, 22” proof research barrel chambered in 7 PRC, Manners EH1 M5 Inlet, and a Trigger Tech Special trigger. Next I need to purchase a bottom metal. I was looking at the Hawkins Precision Hunter DBM, but I’ve read that the Hunter DBM requires “gunsmithing” to work with an Origin action. Does anyone have some experience with this? I was also looking at the Hawkins M5 Oberndorf. I’m just looking for what gives the best reliability and no feeding issues. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ask Bighorn but the Origin should be fine with a BDL floor plate.

The TL3 is the problem child with a BDL/ADL situation.

When they cut actions if they cut them to work with AICS magazines they don't work very well with BDL situations.
