WHAT’S INCLUDED: RIFLE, LEUPOLD SCOPE
This is an extraordinary custom sporting rifle built on a Borchardt Rifle Corporation Sharps-Borchardt falling block action and elevated by one of America's most respected custom stockmakers, George Hoenig. Every visible detail reflects meticulous craftsmanship, from the exhibition-grade walnut and flawlessly sculpted cheekpiece to the elegant hand-cut checkering and beautifully polished metalwork. Rather than being a factory production rifle, this is a purpose-built custom firearm created for the discerning rifleman who demanded uncompromising quality.
Chambered in the legendary .219 Ackley Improved, this rifle represents one of the classic high-performance varmint cartridges developed during the golden age of American wildcatting. The improved chamber maximizes velocity while reducing case stretching, making it a favorite among precision shooters seeking exceptional accuracy and flat trajectories. Combined with the rigid Borchardt falling block action and heavy target barrel, the design is optimized for outstanding consistency and long-range precision on varmints and small predators.
The Borchardt action has long been admired for its tremendous strength and inherently rigid design, making it one of the finest foundations for precision single-shot rifles. George Hoenig's stock transforms the rifle into a work of functional art, featuring graceful lines, impeccable inletting, and superb ergonomics that allow the rifle to settle naturally into the shoulder. The Leupold Vari-X III scope complements the package with proven optical clarity and dependable field performance, making this rifle as capable in the field as it is striking in the gun room.
The .219 Zipper Ackley Improved is one of the classic American wildcat varmint cartridges, combining the proven .219 Zipper case with P.O. Ackley's improved chamber design to increase powder capacity and reduce case stretching. Built for exceptional velocity and flat trajectory, it became a favorite among precision-minded shooters pursuing prairie dogs, groundhogs, coyotes, and other small predators at extended ranges. With modern handloads, the cartridge is capable of driving lightweight .22-caliber bullets at blistering speeds while maintaining excellent accuracy and efficient brass life. Although it remains a handloader's cartridge due to the lack of factory ammunition, the .219 Zipper AI has earned a loyal following among collectors and serious varmint hunters who appreciate its unique history, impressive ballistic performance, and status as one of the great classic Ackley Improved wildcats.
Elegant, purposeful, and exceptionally well executed, this rifle embodies the craftsmanship that defines the finest bespoke sporting arms. From the rich walnut figure and flawless wood-to-metal fit to the polished steel and classic Ackley chambering, every aspect speaks to uncompromising quality.
