I have one built on a Borden action, it was built by Kirby Allen or Fiftydriver here on LRH. I have had mine since 2009 and I like mine. I picked up my dies and 160 brass by checking classifieds on a couple of the different hunting forums. Brass seems to be good quality and lasts really well...

I had Kirby Allen build me a 7mm Dakota on a Borden action, 26" #4 fluted Lilja barrel. We talked about the 7/375 Ruger but did not do it. I really like my Dakota, but I think the 7/375 Ruger makes a lot of sense. I would not improve it unless you are going to shoot 180+ grain bullets then it...

What does the rifle weigh? Thanks

Take your pick really, they are all great. I have owned 2 of the 3 and they were awesome. I have a Zeiss 85 for my heavy, low light scope, close to the truck and then I have a new Swaro 65 ATM coming that will be the scope I take on long walks and back pack trips. I had a 65 ATS previsously and...

I would recommend he shoot it first or get a 3 day time span to check it out. I have one and would not buy another for any amount. Some seem to really shoot well and some will not shoot at all. People either love them or hate them. They are light and easy to carry. But they seem to be finicky...

I got a very short email from him yesterday. He has had some computer issues and is very busy in the shop. He is building my second rifle from him, all email for me to on my builds. I did talk to him on the phone for about 10 minutes about his AM rounds before I ever had him start on the first...

Two buddies and I drew a Unit 68 buck tag and 2 doe tags each. New Kirby rifle on the way for me as well. Should be a lot of fun!!!!!

My advice would be, tell Kirby what weight you want the rifle to be and let him work his magic. If weight is of very great importance. Kirby has some very light weight 7 AM's of his own, but he only shoots them to about 7 or 8 hundred yards IIRC. But really, I would talk to Kirby tell him what...

I have both calibers and have killed antelope with both. I also like 100 NBT out of the 25, the 110 AB is also a great bullet and gives you a little more BC. In my 6mm I shoot 105 A-max's and have killed my two best antelope with them. Great BC and they shoot really well if you have the proper...

I had a light weight 300 WSM break a reticle on that exact scope after about 200 rounds. It is pretty light 7lbs 2oz with sling and scope, loaded. It was mountend in Talley rings and bases. I put a VX-III 4.5 X 14 X 40 on it and it is still going 300 rounds later. Burris fixed it with no...

Mine will shoot 105 A-max's, it did not shoot the 105 Bergers well, but I did not mess with it alot. It will shoot 1" groups at 300 yards with the A-max's. I have not tried 107's or 115's.

bookworm, Kirby is building me a 7mm Dakota, Borden action made for Kirby's company and a #4 fluted Lilja barrel, 26" in length. I am hopeing for 10 to 10.5 lbs. I do not ask for exact dates when it would be done, but most likely in the next month or so. I have another rifle he made for me, so...
