Danpd Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Santa has come early to the Dane household. The first 9 of 20 actions has arrived, and i'm a happy bunny indeed! These are re-branded Alpine Actions produced for me by Jim Borden in the USA. I chose Jim's actions because of his exceptional attention to detail, and desire to produce the finest, smoothest, action he can. No taps are used in the production of the action, even the scope base holes are Thread Milled for perfect location along the central axis. Bolts are Ground 4140 at 44Rc, with a bolt to body fit of less than .002, and the bolt face is guaranteed to be perpendicular to within .0002 First batch includes .308 Bolt Face RH Repeaters and Single Shots, .223 RH Repeaters, And WSM RH Repeaters. Lots More on the way as well as higher end RImrocks in single shot and repeaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see the Pics of the Rimrock Andy if you get a chance.... There are a lot of actions available, but i have done a lot of blind testing and everyone chooses the Borden for its solid feel and smooth as silk bolt operation, I've got some very excited customers waiting for these!

trucraft Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Very nice mate. Did you really have to post photos? I was being pretty chilled about mine not being here till March untill I saw yours. That logo engraving looks sweeet, but your chuffed. How was the lead time, was it as quoted? Anyone looking for an action I would strongly advise getting your hands on a Borden and then making up your mind. Paddy envited me over a month ago to get my hands on some stocks and actions it took all of 10 seconds to decide and by the next morning I had ordered one. Would have been interesting to do a blind test with the home grown action if it had ever turned up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 is it possible to buy just an action or will they be for new builds only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpd Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 is it possible to buy just an action or will they be for new builds only? These are for new builds only Mark. I cant supply an action with my name on it with no control over the quality of the workmanship that it may be associated with. If you wanted just a bare action then speak to Callum at Precision Rifle Services. He is the european distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i guess the blind test won't ever happen.....shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 They certainly do look good. I notice you do not have the year of manufacture on them, is this because they are built outside of the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Davy, Yes, as I stated in the post these are Borden Alpine actions produced in the US with my logo on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Rimrock as requested. WSM boltface, the other I have on order has .473" bolt-face, but essentially both are (will be) identical twins. Fantastic quality action and bolt is oh so slick to open / cycle and close I removed the trigger hanger for the images by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Dan Look much better in the flesh - photographs do not do it justice. Matt wondered how long it would be before an eagle eyed chap would spot the logo. Pete Hopefully soon, although obviously after Santa's been round..

Ronin Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 If only Dan I have two Manners F Class stocks on order for the "twins", and was thinking of having some kind of emblem on the butt after they have been finished, the Arcteryx distressed bird may be just the thing...
