Your barrel will wear fishnet stockings? Interesting...

 

[Dorian Gray]

Sweet!

Chuck you troll. What cartridge, barrel, contour, etc. etc.
Nice Echols stock BTW.

 

[chuck nelson]

The barrel will be a "short" shanked #2 Douglas contour and is a 1-9 .284. I'm still deciding between the 280 and 7X57.

 

[1899]

One vote for 7x57

 

[mark k]

Interesting. 2 votes for 7x57.

 

[double gun]

280 would be my vote. Why the new bolt handle?

 

[crazy_davey]

280 would be my vote. ?

Same here.

Is this a left hand build?

Is this a left hand build?

I hope so....otherwise he will be very disapointed in the pictured left handed action.

Too funny...not often you meet a fellow lefty doing a custom build! I thought the picture might have been reversed.

 

[SuperCub]

I vote 7mm Mauser.

.

 

[sacan3]

280 ai

I vote 280 Ackley Improved or & mm Mag (same difference?)

That is going to be nice.......in 7 Mauser or 280....

 

[Dorian Gray]

7x57 FTW!

There sure aint' piles of left handed guns out there....I always got the feeling a lot of lefties gave up looking for bolt guns to end up shooting scoped Browning BLR's

 

[JasonS]

I believe the .280 has spoken....

Note to fellow lefty, please post parts prices and part numbers etc so lazy nutz like me can just copy and paste

I've always wanted a smooth bolt knob on a Model 70.

Reason enough.
