Am I correct in believing the Borchardt action (in current steels) would be as capable as the Ruger #1?
Any of the sage writers have any insight?

I'm not a sage writer (nor a rider of the sage, purple or otherwise). However, you should read up and google about the Colt Sharps rifle.
The Sharps Borchardt was produced by Colt for about 5 years in the early 1970s. Gun writer Les Bowman was brought in as a consultant on the project, and wrote a detailed account of the rifle in
Gun Digest. (I don't recall which issue.)
It was an admirable attempt that fizzled. These rifles pop up infrequently on Auctionarms, Gunbroker, and Guns America.
