Left Hand 300 Holland and Holland Build

[Orphan Slayer]

Hello everyone,

I kicked around the idea of building a 300 h&h a few years ago and it never came to fruition due to a career change. Now I’ve got the itch again. Long and short I’m looking for some tips on left handed Mauser actions. I would’ve bought a Zastava in 375 h&h but it seems every time I want to buy a rifle I can’t find the one I want. I’ve scoured google and no luck. So if any one has a line on a left handed Mauser action that will fit the bill please let me know.

I want the controlled round feed and a 300 h&h for nostalgic purposes only. I’m not really interested in much else. I figure if I’m going to shell out for a custom rifle I’ll get what I want.

Thanks in advance,

Jesse

Jesse,

i do think your base is the one you mentionned and it will do a perfect match.

just a mat
ter of time.

good luck in your project and finding it.

You could use a lh Model 70 action too, if you can find a long action w/ magnum bolt face in a late model production model w/ claw extractor (7mm Rem Mag or 300 Win Mag). Not common, but are out there. The limited run FN manufactured rifles are well built with great fit and finish and nice wood.

Shooters Choice has such a rifle, at least a couple days ago.

It's still there. That would make a great start to an H&H project.

Years ago I looked into Granite Mountain Arms for a LH Mauser build. Looked to be a good option at the time for a modern classis build.

There will need to be some modifications made, but that is a steal.

That is a great price.

Jesse, snag that rifle and get it to your gunsmith. Pictures and a range report once you get it up and running, please!

Prophet River has a LH Winchester Model 70 416 Rem that really just needs a new barrel. It’s more money, but might be cheaper in the long run.

I gave shooters choice a call and that 300 win mag is a push feed model. Otherwise that’s exactly what I’m after. Thanks for the tip gents

 

[chuck nelson]

There is no such thing as a lefty push feed

Yup.

Even in the Post-64 era? Forgive my ignorance gents. The rifle was produce in ‘84

 

[chuck nelson]

No it wasn’t. The first lefty’s weren’t produced until the 90’s. No left hand Model 70’s existed before that.

 

[chuck nelson]

That rifle looks like a 2000’s produced WSM. But it’s a crappy picture so tough to really tell.

Thanks Chuck, again just basing my info off what the guy on the phone told me. I’ve pulled the trigger on it. Thanks to everyone for their help on the matter.

Classic gun counterman info!

Don't delay getting a line on a bbl. Carbon steel bbls are harder to find in Canada. I got mine from Ron Smith.

Would a left handed ruger m77 action work? Eagle firearms in Tisdale, SK has a Zastava LH in 300 win mag.

some works need to be done and a bigger magazine to accomodate 300hh longer cartridge but they did 375h h from regular 300 win mag as well.
