Just ordered a complete new build for Kathy!

Been so bored with this lockdown that i have spent the last couple of weeks reading old threads on here and elsewhere.  So much to learn but all my Fly shooting friends have been so helpful that I was confident enough to put our toe in the water of the 500m FLY.
Kath and I attended the Nationals in Canberra this year and it was great to be able to have a close look at all the different rifles and talk to different shooters about their gear and setup. We borrowed a rifle and ammo (6mmBR) from John Harris to see what it was like as we have never shot anything bigger than a .22, Jacko even let me have a shot of his Borden 6mmDX to see what its like - We had a great day and lots of fun so it got us to this point.
I noticed this bright Pink laminated rifle on the bench next to us (hard to miss) so I took a closer look in between details, its based on a new Borden BRMMF action and owned by Gunsmith Warren Gardiner (Wazza). The fit and finish of the stockaction work was outstanding and the rifle looked as good as any of the many rifles on the line. Over the course of the day Wazza was happy to answer my many "Noob" questions and I learnt more about what he might be able to do for us.

Photo's will follow as the build is completed, but here are the basic details.

Borden Rimrock BRMMF 6mmBR with a No turn neck, dual port.
Hart 1:8 twist barrel
Jewell Trigger
20 moa rail
Purple laminated stock with all the trimmings.
Pillar beaded etc
Weight: 16.9lbs approx
Gunsmith: Warren from Shoot Ya Load

So no fireforming and no neck turning for me just yet as there is so much to learn about the rest of bullet\case preparation
and then we have to learn how to shoot the longer distance.
With the ranges closed for a while, if I can get to the range in Nov\Dec and work on some loads then we will be able to start 2021 in Feb next year at Batemans Bay.

Very excited and just wanted to share with you,

Hope you are all doing well,

Dave
