Here's a one-off 9.3x62mm big game hunting rifle that we've build. As this is our first post, I'll start off with a short introduction. We're a small manufacturer based in Denmark. Our mission is to build rifles with unparalleled precision, complete in a beautiful and high quality package. To obtain the wanted precision we've insisted on using the good old fashioned way of cutting the rifling, and so we have a 117 year old Pratt & Whitney rifling bench as the heart of our production. Everything is hand made.
For more pictures feel free to take a look at https://www.facebook.com/JensenRifleCompany
I hope you enjoy it.

I have seen a few their rifles. The Jenses pay attention to minor details and their finish always best London finish. No less!.

117 year old machine tools are not on par with the better tools of today.

Its nice nostalgia but there are better machines today.

117 years ago finding a rifle that would shoot any where close to a inch was rare. Now we have cheaper price rifles that come from mass produce lines that do it that and better (IE savage). The last three I brought would all do under 3/4 inch with out load development one under .5

Again its a very nice looking rifle what size groups does she shoot.

Due to the process of cutting the rifling being more time consuming and therefore more expensive, they stopped using the technology in the beginning of the 20th century, hence the 117 year old machine. In theory cutting is much less stressfull to the metal compared to button rifling, cold hammering and broaching, and that's why we've insisted on doing it the good old fashioned way.

This particular rifle will do 0.5" groups.

For most of our high end rifles we use Mauser 98 actions. This one being a left-handed one, we had to use a brand new custom made version made by Granite Mountain Arms. For the right-hand rifles we use old UN actions build by Husqvarna that are initially normalized and then completely overhauled, blue printed and accurized, then ground and polished to a high gloss finish, case hardened and blackened (blued).

Hi Stig
The Pratt & Whitney wasn't it mfg somewhere between 1905 and 1920.
Why do you believe that broaching introduces more stress than singlepointcutting.

Btw werry nice rifle Wink

Hej Jørgen. Det er ikke Stig, men en af sønnerne som står bag. Årstallet har jeg fra Border Barrels som også har en Sine Bar P&W maskine fra det gamle Schultz & Larsen. Da jeg blot er marketing ansvarlig må jeg være dig svar skyldig ift. metoderne imellem. Jeg kan dog svare på at vi stadig benytter Montana låse i vores entry-level M99. Resten er Mauser M98. God dag

You came quit close.The point of the context in the translation is 100% dead on and does not diviate from the danish text.

Nicely done. Impressive groups as well. How big of a hole would a similar quality Right-handed M-98 action build put on my wallet? CB

Wow. Beautiful. And I'm not even a huge fan of Mannlicher stocks or bolts on the left side though I could make use of one more than the other.

Thanks CB. It's difficult to give an exact price as it depends on a lot of factors, but estimate around $15.000 for our M98 builds. The one pictured however is a tailored one-off example with all the extras and therefore it's significantly more expensive. Feel free to send me a PM if you have any further questions and then I could provide a more accurate quote as well.
