26.5" Proof Research 1x8" twist barrel. Sendero Lite Contour.
Chambered for the 130 Berger VLD, Jim Borden states he gets better accuracy down range than the 140 VLD's Shoots 140's just as good.
JP Rifles compact baffle break.
Borden Alpine Magnum action- Magnum meaning extended mag well for longer bullets.
Action is buttery slick.
Talley/Borden One piece ring/base sculptured to fit Borden actions because of the scallops cut.
Gunwerks LR1000 stock without aluminum bedding block-Pillar bedded instead and saved 1/2 pound.
Jewel trigger.
Scoped not included.

Shoots realy nice-just shot one load of H4350 130 VLD about 30 times. and 5 140's-all 1/2". A couple of 136 Lapuas for sighters. Never tried anything else.
I have Forster dies and about 90 Lapua loaded factory rounds 136gr that may not go with rifle($150 extra) since I have other 6.5x47's-depends if I sell that rifle this soon.
Jim Borden built the rifle. https://bordenrifles.com/
Nathan Chesney form Hillbilly Custom Rifles did the stock work-and he's awesome. https://www.facebook.com/HillbillyCustomRifles
$4500

$3975 I need and like to move on. Only a year old and like new. Shot a mature 6 point whitetail at 624yds and that 130 Berger ripped him apart. A coyote at 290yds. Only 2 hunting shots-didn't take this rifle out much. Built a couple more rigs since then and know this will sit in safe. I guess the knew stuff is always better?
