Bolt action pistol build

[Rubberduckie]

Thinking of getting a kauger action left handed for a pistol build. Anyone done one of have input? Thinking of using a atom xlr chassis. Kauger gives option of recessed bolt nose or a semi cone, is one better than the other? Want to do it in 7br.

If you're right handed, the left bolt is the way to go. I have a few XPs and I really don't like the right bolt. Shifting grip to cycle the bolt is a pain.
I have the 7 BR in an XP and it's a really good cartridge for a pistol.

If doing a single shot, definitely coned bf. Repeater, I’d ask them.

I have/ had several latest two are Borden Alpine XP's both with left bolt/ right port. in 20 PPC short and .20VT

Keep us posted. I've always been interested in a pistol. Never really seen any builds.

As just mentioned, keep us posted. I'm getting ready to build my 3rd specialty pistol and have been looking at the left bolt Kauger as well.

This LINK shows a Kauger action being used for a .22 creedmoor. He uses a right hand action since he's left handed. You might contact Ernie he's the guru on specialty pistols.

I had the itch and found an old Savage in 308. A request on the sale board brought me 22-250 and 243 barrels. I may do a custom stock for it if I like it.
They have a new one out, too.

Surprised Josh that it already doesn't have some fancy stock already.

I bought it while I’m behind the lines in Communist Delaware, where I’m not allowed to buy a gun because I’m a legal Texan. I had to have it sent to Texas to wait for my return. It will be a winter project.

You can send your defective pistols to me.


I ordered a right bolt Model 7 repeater action to build an XP-100 clone for IHMSA Pistol Silhouette. It will be chambered in 6X45. Took about 6 months. The fluting on the bolt looks nice.

It makes me concentrate more on those first shot kills better.

If your looking for any input,you might check out Ernie . He is a dealer for ""Seb" rifle rest. Hand gun Hunter and long range shooter.

You might also might check with the WVHitman. He is a Long Time bolt action hand gun hunter.

If you're left handed, the XP 100 action is the BOMB!! Single shot, no worries about feeding. Right hand works the bolt.

I went a different direction. Savage Model 12 lefty repeater action. Single shot sled so no mag feeding issues. Mounted in a right hand thumbhole stock, Free left hand does ammo and bolt work. OAL of 26" so it's still a rifle according to ATF. I shoot it right handed.
XP 100 mounted in a lefty thumbhole stock. Usually off a rest so no problems sighting in. Right bolt so your free right hand feeds ammo and works the bolt.

Well I bought an action yesterday... I got a left bolt/port atlas tactical. 308 bf. Now I'm looking for a chassis. I'm leaning towards xlr atom. I've also looked at the pork sword, and the mdt ess chassis base. Any other options i havent found? Then to pick the cartridge. I have 2 bartlein blanks. A #3 and a medium palma both 7.5 twist 6mm. I'm wanting to do 6 br or maybe 22 creedmoor. Also think or 6mm remington ai as I have the reamer, dies and brass already. I wanted to do 7br but don't wanna buy more dies and components.

A 6mm AI in a pistol?
There's a lot better choices out there.

Yea i know. I'm leaning towards straight 6br. I just have alot of 6rem brass and I love my 6 rem rifle

 

[NorCalMikie]

6BR Remington brass fired in a 6 BR Lapua chamber WILL BE 6BR Lapua brass..

6 remington as in 244 remington. Better suited in a long action. I've got a 244ai rifle thats a tack driver.

When I finish up with my 20 Practical 110 PCS, I going to turn my attention to redoing my 20 VT to a 6 BR. Already have brass, dies and bolt. I have a 6 BR rifle that is really nice.

I haven't done anything with 20 caliber. How you like it? Hunt or paper punch?
