I'm planning on building a budget precision/hunting rig in .243 but having a hard time finding a rifle suitable for a build. The problem being that I shoot lefty, so where can I find a detailed list of calibers that share the same bolt-face as the .243, seeing as I'm probably going to rebarrel it anyways. I've tried searching here and google, but the lists I've found seem pretty short.

For now my T3 is getting a mil-dot/target turret scope and I'm going to work on my shooting :D
 
Any cartridge based on the .308/.30-06 will have the same size bolt face. Epp's is listing a used, left hand, M700 BDL, currently in .30-06, for $679. A new rifle will be about double that. $1173.64 for a left hand CDL in .30-06.

Unless you have the action on hand or get a deal that is unbelievable why would you build a .243 on anything other than a short action? I know I wouldn't.
