Lefty custom
I bought a NSX this week. I feel ridiculous having a $2k scope sitting on a 600 dollar savage that shoots approx 1 moa. I have wanted a custom gun for a while and want the gap crusader but their custom action, as most I'm finding, are not a left handed situation. So what are my options here. What would the left handed Internets do? Have a smith blue print a 700, install a nice BBL and send it to me and let me finish the rest? I'm pretty handy. What does that kind of thing cost vs a crusader. Do you have to have an action already or do a lot of these smiths get new UN-barreled actions? who would/Have you guys used?
any lefties out there?
What I want
22"
1:10
threaded for my cyclone
308
1/2 ish moa
Quick google search came up with these:
Surgeon
Stiller
Borden
Defiance Machine
yeah i had looked at those sites already and it looks like defiance is the only one with a true left handed action the rest only have left bolt right eject if they have anything in left handed.
I guess what i was getting at originally was what are other lefties doing? Savages like me?
Those surgeons are gorgeous.
BAT machine makes some excellent lefty actions to, you can also get the ejection port on either side.
I went with a trued lefty 700 in 300RUM

Where did you get that stock and how long did you have to wait?

A company named JW precision used to keep mcmillans in stock, in left or right hand. I don't know they still do put I had it in a week.
JW Precision closed its doors last year, but I believe he is still active on the hide.

I hate that, he is good peoples
I ended up buying a savage left hand .243 win blind mag with a cool lam stock on sale at Cabelas. I'm either going with an Ebaco 260 remington barrel or .308 win. 20". Poor lefty custom. I got a left hand tactical bolt knob from Midway. I'll put some good glass on it and shoot.
There is a guy on here that goes by Hardrock. He is left handed and the owner and gunsmith of EFI,LLC. I should be getting my left handed .338lm that is built around a left handed TAC 338 receiver. The main builds very,very accurate rifles semi or bolt.
