Value of a Borden TPE action?

[DShortt]

As these rifles/actions aren't often seen for sale, I can't get a 'feel' for the value. Thought someone here might have an idea?

Finish is really good, operates perfectly, standard bolt face.

Thanks for looking.

They are good actions, but I have no idea of value

As stated, they're good actions, just a bit older now and the new Bordens are improved in the area of timing the handle to locking lugs a bit. I'm sure Jim will be happy to tell you about other improvements but that was the area that got the TPE any negative attention...and it's tiny.

As to value of just the action, I'd say it's still very close to other customs. Maybe minus $100 or so, if that. Really not much to knock them for. I've owned a few. I doubt any of us can shoot the difference in it and a new(insert name)

Thank you. I plan to keep it, just curious.
