ring and base options

Ring and base combinations made for Remington 700 actions will not work on Borden Alpine or Borden Timberline actions. The screw holes in our actions are 8×40 and are spaced .860 apart. The rear bridge is the same height as front receiver ring thereby eliminating the possibility of using bases made for the Remington 721/722/700 family of actions. Here are some options for Rings and bases we have available:

  • Talley style bases made of 7050 Aluminum
  • Talley unitized rings made for our actions. These rings do not utilize bases and are made specifically for our actions so that the foot of the ring fits within the scallops on the action.
  • Hawkins Engineering Long Range Unitized 30MM medium rings with built in 25 MOA and built in level
  • 1 piece Picatinny rails in neutral or 20MOA ramp made of aluminum or black oxide colored chrome moly steel.
  • Holland Shooting Supply Picatinny two piece stainless steel bases (neutral)(Available from Holland)

borden rimrock b action

Borden Rimrock B actions were specifically designed for LV benchrest rifles. The Rimrock BR action is light and works well for the LV rifles but we found many competitors wanted the standard Remington Short action “bolt throw”. The Rimrock BRM tends to be too heavy for LV benchrest so we modifed the BRM design to result in a lighter action that maintains the bolt throw of a Remington 700 short action. We bobbed the tang from 2.250 inches long to 1.8 inches long and we opened the loading port to 3.0 inches long.
