Hi Double Bypass, the ring is nightforce, and the base is Seekins custom rail base for Alpine action(20 MOA).

Thanks guys. Eaglet, the main reason for going SAUM instead of WSM is better barrel life, it has longer neck than WSM, 0.311 VS 0.244, in theory this gives better barrel life specially around throat area. But I haven’t been able to verify this. 2nd reason is the case capacity, Kirby helped us...

Just say big thank you to Kirby from Allen precision, Jim from Borden action, Mike from ABS barrel, Tom from Manners stock I have shot my personal best 3 shot group at 0.189 inch yesterday. Before that I have never thought I'm capable of shooting this kind group, or to make my rifle shoot that...

Tim, You don't need pay anything if you are going to hunt in public land, I believe that's where Sako75 was from the photo(Kaweka?). deer is considered pest here and government is encouraging hunters to take them. Cheers Yibai

Thanks Glen! One for me Let us know when it's available Cheers Yibai

Here is my way, it's very cheap, all you need is a level, cost about 3.00, but it's actuall very acculate, I found it sensitive to 1 degree. Cheers Yibai

Hi Crane, Thanks for the information, it'll be great if Seekins can make 1 piece mount for Jim's action. I just got my action yesterday, NICE! BTW, if you don't mind of 2 piece base then you can get two pieces of remington front base, just make sure the screw hole size is 8x40. Cheers Yibai...

Thanks GG, that's very helpful information. The rifle will be definitely a field gun, to be able to shoot 1000 yard will be nice but it's bit impracticable here in New Zealand, just think how long I have to walk Thanks Yibai

Hi Crane, Borden's action is different from remington's, the borden's action is straight while in remington the back end base is lower than front end, also Jim uses 8-40 screws which is much stronger thant Remington's 6-48(??I think)

Hi Paal, No I haven't found any one piece base. I'll go with two piece bases for now and see how it goes... I think 7075 is very strong, according to this: http://www.tpsproducts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48

Again, thanks guys for the information, yes I'll stay with the repeater. Best regards Yibai

Hi all, I’ve been reading this forum for a quite while and always appreciate the usefully information you guys provided here. I just started building my first long-Lange rifle, well actually the only thing on the way is Borden rifle’s new Alpine repeater action...

I have Tikka T3 6.5x55, and using ADI 2209 (IMR 4350) 48.2gn, speed 2720fps N550 48.0gn, 2900 fps Both loads have groups under 1 moa. I've shot a deer at 280 yards few weeks back with a-max 140gn, deer dropped about 5 meters where it been shot, but I did notice the exist wound was quite small...
