Ronin Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Just completed this rather special build Borden Mountaineer short action which has been PVD coated at source along with the picatinny rail, bolt and recoil lug. Action was specced by customer as right bolt, left port eject, capable of taking / feeding AW mags Barrel is fluted Sassen finished at 24”, chambered minimum SAAMI spec reamer in 7mm-08 Remington. Barrel threaded at M18 x 1mm with protective cap. Profile is med Palma. Stock is PSE Composites E-Tac, with addition flush cups and picatinny rail under the forend and butt. Stock is finished in cerakote by PSE to their usual high standard. Modification had to be made to the stock to accommodate left port eject, which I finished with carbon fibre cloth weave to protect and seal the alteration. Bottom metal is Atlasworxs with new style mag release within the trigger guard. A DPT 7mm moderator has been supplied which, along with the barrel and a set of March polished 34mm rings have been Cerakoted in Matt Black by Liquid Steel Design at Preston to their usual high standard. The barrelled action has been bedded using Devcon to the stock - whilst not strictly necessary with PSE stocks, I always prefer to do this with any build as it leaves no possible margin of error of fit bettween both surfaces. Trigger is a Triggertech unit, superb release. Magazines supplied by the customer are American Rifle Company AICS style - a slight modification was required to the bottom metal to allow perfect fit and release. The build is very high spec, using only the best components and I look forwards to seeing how the rifle shoots in the hands of its owner. Images will be uploaded tomorrow.

weejohn Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 This looks awesome . You know, I have wanted you to fit my 284 barrelled action into one of the pse e-tac stocks for ages now to save a bit of weight but I seem to be struggling to give up the pistol grip of the dolphin stock . My action is also right bolt left port and this stock has nearly everything I would need except the ability to mount a front NV rail . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customer specified this orientation. I believe the rifle will be used at extended range from static position. Brass easy to collect if ejected to nearside ? Its a configuration that is used in F Class, think the theory is sound but takes getting used to warm cases travelling towards the face. Its exactly what the customer wanted.

For me it's for easy loading and as I do a lot of shooting with in long grass in daytime and in the dark etc I just lift up my left hand and eject the case into it rather than digging about in the grass trying to find it . I reckon I have saved a couple of hundred £ in brass that I would of otherwise lost . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Rem Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Is it just the photos or does the lettering on the side of the action have Devcon in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no bedding compound in any of the lettering. Possibly a combination of my phones camera facility and the light reflecting off the smaller letters when I took the images. There may be some overspray of Napier in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treedave Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Now out and working. It’s been run out to 400 yards at Eskdalemuir, where it rang the small gong with metronomic regularity. It carries nicely, shoots nicely and cleans easily. I’m looking forward to developing a solids load for the coming hind cull and seeing how it goes..

Spielvogel pointers Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 A thing of absolute beauty well done to all involved in the spec and build. One day I'll talk the Mrs into seeing that I NEED a PSE stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 3-20x50 ultra short? fantastic scope. End next week I hope to get the first of the new E-Tac4 Rem SA for my Bartlein barrelled rem308 and will also use a 3-20 ultra short on it as my hill rifle. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 That’s a 5-20X50 I recon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treedave Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 5-20 (illum) it is. I can’t remember why it was the 5- rather than the 3-, it might’ve been the space on the tube for rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Ah OK, never looked through the 5-20 yet. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 The 5-20X50 is the one that is a pain to fit in one piece mounts. However it is also a lot smaller than the 3-20X50. Eddie if you can sacrifice the lower mag give it a try. So glad I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds about right, sphur do a specific one piece for it, but already had a 20 moa rail so went for separate rings. well worth a look thru, delightfully light and can have real low turrets, if that’s important to you. I’m glad I traded my older 3-20 pm II for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I still have a larger 3-20X50 they have different uses. Im using the spuhr for my 5-20X50 ultra short. I’m well wrong the investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
