I have a Borchardt. One of the most overrated rifles ever in my opinion. I don't know why everyone loves them. They take a really talented gunsmith to make the trigger acceptable (lucky for me, I know such a person), but even then, they are heavy, very difficult to disassemble and reassemble, and have no camming action on the cartridge to speak of. Extraction is fair as I recall.

I think the Ballard is much better than Borchardt. At least it is for me, but that's why we have so many choices.
