Borden Timberline 300 Win Mag

First let me say that I�m not desperate to sell this rifle. I have an itch for a similar build but in 7mm Rem. If I can not recover nearly replacement cost I�m keeping it. If you�re looking for a steal this is not for you. I don�t itch for the 7mm that badly! This is a chance for someone to not have to roll the dice with a build, not have to deal with the headaches, not have to deal with all of the shipping back and forth, not have to wait, and be assured of a proven, extremely accurate, rifle that in my mind is the perfect hunting blueprint for a 300 win mag (I wouldn�t want one any lighter). I have posted pictures of groups below. One is a ten shot group with the 168 TTSX hunting load and the other is the only two groups ever fired with the 175 SMK�s. I have fired no other bullet in this rifle. I have performed absolutely no load development, both loads were the first one tried. I have no practical need for any more accuracy. The rifle bangs 600 yard steel with amazing small groups from the 168 TTSX. This rifle is a shooter and apparently not picky at all.

The only disclosure I feel is necessary is that the flutes on the barrel are not timed meaning that the top flute is not perfectly in the 12 o�clock position (probably more like the 11 o�clock position)

Borden Timberline 300 Win Mag with .339� neck (neck turning NOT required). Bob Green is the gunsmith (greensrifles.com). Includes rings and bases but not scope. Rifle has approximately 150 rounds down the tube.

Weight including steel rings and bases and Zeiss 30mm scope is 8 lb 5oz. A few easy steps could be taken to lighten the rig to around 7 lbs 8 oz but I honestly wish it were a little heavier than 8 lbs 5 oz. Factory BDL versus the stainless PT&G, Talley lights (included, see note below) versus the steel Burris dual dovetails, and lighter Leup versus the Zeiss and you�re easily in the mid 7 lb range.

I feel it necessary to list prices so that you guys don�t freak. Quality adds up.

$990 Stainless Borden Timberline action with pinned lug
$30 Wyatt magazine box
$35 Remington spring and follower
$200 Pacific Tool and Gauge Stainless BDL bottom
$150 Rifle Basix trigger with safety
$405 25� Rock Creek Fluted SS Barrel, #4 Douglas contour, 11.25 twist
$518 McMillan Classic Edge, 13 �� LOP, olive paint
$75 Burris 30mm dual dovetails with 20moa inserts (also will include 2 sets of Talley light weight rings/bases, 1� and 30 mm, worth $40 each totaling $80)
$190 chamber and fit barrel
$50 glass blast
$250 pillar bed
$50 fit Wyatt magazine box

$2943 total cost in rifle, not including over $100 in shipping and $80 in extra Talley rings)

I would let it go for $2750 with a 100 % satisfaction guarantee. I�ll give you five days to inspect and return with no questions asked.

BTW, my youngest daughter would be hot if I didn�t include her picture with the rifle. I can email larger versions of the pics posted if you pm me your email address.

That is one great lookin rifle,sir...

I've seen this one in person. Trust me, 'roads will be posting about this one in one of those "You ever let go of a rifle and regret it?" threads.

John

Yeah......probably so. The fact that I'm wanting to build one almost identical to the 7 rem mag I let go several years ago is a testimony to that. It's probably the only sporter weight rifle I've ever had that's more accurate than this 300 win mag. (kicking myself!)

NICE...never thought I would see you part with this one.

bx, you're outta you're skull buddy....;)

What a nice rifle!

I have someone with a twitching finger. You know who you are. Don't let it get away like the 7 did (BTW, I think it was WDEA above who snatched the 7 out from under you. Don't let it happen again(grin)).

Ah, big deal, I got a savage that will do that!

Spot on. 'Roads needs a kick in the jimmy for moving this one.
Sweet rig for sure.

Wish you luck on your sale.

I would prolly keep it and kill things.

I have one exactly like this without edge tecnology,rifles built with these parts are incredibly accurate and extremley consistant,bxroads is likely loosing his mind and will be kicking himself for sometime if this rig sells...hope you find a buyer,but I will be keeping mine!!

Lifes to short to hunt with an ugly gun....Give me a Borden!

Recoil is the major factor in my consideration of a 7 rem mag. While its non-existent when pulling the trigger on game, this rifle in 300 Win Mag smacks you pretty good during practice, and I like to practice. I'm thinking of a heavy fill McMillan Classic which will run in the 3 lb range. This will increase rifle weight to nearly 10 lbs. I'll practice with the heavy stock and switch to the edge if needed for a hoof intensive hunt.

Punch it .300 Ultra then you'd have something.........Just jokin'. Viable option for the "man-ly men" though.

It's a sharp rifle. I eyed it pretty hard when it was first for sale on here.

Bx: Not me My 300 WM days are past....why not rebarrel it to 7RM?

Free bump! Someone would be smart to grab this one.
