Default Take the bull by the horns....BUILD a lefty.

I don't buy right handed any more...unless they are for my boys or my daughter.

Buildings Leftynow, that'll be my go-to for most things needing dead.....my meat gun.

Building it around the 85 grain TSX.

Parts have been rolling in everyday, and this weekend things'll get bolted together for an initial eval of the barrel.

Platform....

Remmy youth left handed .243 Win, 20 inch, twisted 1:9 1/4".

McMillan sporter....

Loopie 2X7....

Talley LW's for mounts....

Barrel will get heated up to see if it shoots decent with some X's at 3100. If it do then it'll go to my 'smith for a .243AI punch andthen off to Ultra Bore Coat. Doug will bake on some OD green Ultra Coat and give the bore a Bore Kote treatment to help fend fouling.

IF the barrel don't shoot then the door's wide open, maybe 7-08, but I've already sourced a 243AI sizer die and a boatload of Lapua brass for FFing. A 20" or 21" Pac Nor in 243AI wouldn't be a bad thing.....

The McMillan came in Realtree AP camo dipped....hate it. Gonna source some Krylon and beautificate it with a GAP pattern....

The Talleys will go with the metal for the same OD Ultra Coat....

The Loopie will go to the custom shop for a set of M1's....

And there ya go...a Model 7ish lefty customin a wicked good deer/varmit chambering............

'Course....

You could always just source a Savage/Trashco Combo and be done with it.

Must be no DIYRifle Builders on this site......
