Borden BRM or BRMXD action ?

[hoz53]

Im thinking of getting one of these actons to build a LR benchrest or F-open rifle on. The only difference I see is the brmxd is larger dia. Want to chamber this in 7 saum. Can anyone advise me the better action for this and what other differences are? I want to use 1 1/4 barrels if I can instead of the bigger dia ones. I will call Borden next week but it would be great to get other guys views on this. Thanks Much

You got to watch weight if your building a BR gun. 17 pound limit. MATT

Matts right. The only difference is weight. There is no strength or stiffness advantage with bigger actions. We bolt them to wood, the action is never the weak link. The xd balances nice in an open build, but it will be hard to make weight in 17lb.

F-Open is 10 kilos (≈22 lbs). F-TR is 8.25 kilos (≈18.2 lbs).

Hi
I have both and they're great, another option would be a switch barrel set up. One straight for FO which has a 22 pound limit and another in HV to get down to 17 pound for 600/1000 BR.

I think lite gun in LRBR is 17 and that's what Matt was talking about. Thanks for the F class info

The BRMXD is about 6oz. to 9oz. heavier depending on configuration.

Oh, I missed the BR part of the original post. My bad for skimming. All I saw the F-Open part.
