TL3
The TL3 is Bighorn Arms' flagship
product. This action is machined from pre-hardened 416 stainless
steel. Features include an integrated recoil lug, Savage small shank
thread tenon, floating and interchangeable bolt head, controlled
round feed, spiral fluted bolt, mechanical ejector and bayonet style
firing pin assembly.

The TL3 has
options for AICS, AW, single shot and single shot extended magazine
wells. AICS magazine wells will accept all AICS pattern magazines
and COAL's of 2.980". AW magazine wells will accept AW magazines as
well as AICS pattern magazines. Running AICS pattern magazines in an
AW cut receiver does present a greater potential for feeding issues.
Upward pressure on AICS magazines can create a bind on the bolt that
does not allow the bolt to be pushed forward. Single shot receivers
are standard length and single shot extended receivers have a stroke
that is .100" longer than standard length.
Available tang
options are trim, medium and thick. Trim is the closest to standard
Remington 700 actions while medium is the same footprint just
slightly thicker at the rear. Thick tangs typically require some
custom inletting in stocks but can be more aesthetically pleasing in
some chassis. If you have any concerns with which tang will work,
follow the general rule that trim is the most versatile option.
TL3's are
currently the only actions with an option for a 0 or 30 MOA rail.
All other actions are standard with 20 MOA rails.
