Sold: Borden Timberline - Full Custom 7x57 - REDUCED

[Tikka 260]

Following on from the article in Shooting Times yesterday, I feel that it might be generate some interest to repost the sale with enhanced offering and reduced price
As part of the "wind down" of my stalking kit, I wish to sell my 'Ronin' built custom 7x57 rifle
The spec is as follows:
Bespoke CM Borden Timberline action, CM fluted bolt.
LW CM Barrel 8.5 twist 22" Medium sporter profile threaded for moderator.
Hand built Rigby Pattern stock - exhibition quality walnut with ebony end cap, and red recoil pad, built and fitted by Gary Cane.
Talley - 30mm custom scope rings
Bottom metal , engraved with serial number , calibre, and facsimile Sika Head , gold inlay.
I also offer Redding 7x57 reloading dies, and a quantity of new Norma brass if that is of interest.
1 x Country Covers long green scoped rifle slip, little used.
Atec moderator again little used as I have tended to use the rifle unmoderated.
Needless to say given the expertise of the builders, the rifle is very accurate using either traditional lead core or monolithic copper solids.
I attach a few photos and would take more detailed photos for anyone that has a positive interest in the rifle.
Scope is Swarovski 4-12i
I should add that the scope shown in the photos is NOW included in the sale.
Price is £4000 OVNO for the complete package.
Please PM if interested and thanks for looking.

Perhaps the finest rifle I’ve had a hand in building

Very best of luck with the sale - it was a pleasure

Truly a one off build

There are no other Borden Timberline Chromoly Actions I am aware of in existence, had to ask very nicely to get that built.

It is a stunning rifle.
I'd be too scared to scratch it

Very best of luck with the sale on a truly stunning rifle

That’s a work of art.

I’m far too clumsy to even think about it.

Proper all round.
Makes other show off rifles on here quite ordinary imo.

 

[Gandy]

Stunning.

 

[Rafter]

Good luck with the sale

A thing of beauty for sure. A great collaborative build - if I had the money..........

 

[JockStalk]

That is a fabulous piece of work.
Wish I had kids. Would sell them in a heartbeat

For interest, this is almost the end result of load development with Fox Classic 145Gn copper solids last year. the 1st shot was too far right, 2 clicks left and then 3 rounds as shown. The velocity measured was mean 2825 fps , spread of 15 fps. The Fallow did not enjoy it at all. OK - Its not Bisley sort of stuff but for a hunting rifle I was v happy with that result.

A secondhand Highland Stalker with the same grade walnut would cost twice that.........somebody buy it please.

I seldom shoot beyond 100 yards at Bisley so DON'T beat yourself up about that.

Good luck with sale.
