Left Hand Project Question

[rotaderp]

If you were looking to build a custom rifle for predator hunting purposes and wanted a repeater, would you stick with truing a Remington 700 action or spend the money on a custom action? What left hand custom action would you consider?

I recognize it all comes down to what you want to spend, maybe the question really is are the $1,000 and up custom actions worth the money?

Interested in your comments. Thanks.

Welcome,

I`m building my next project on a rem 700 LH bdl, I thought of getting a clone custom action for it but I already got the rem. on a shot out 7mag and I dont want to sell a bonk gun so thats that... With a good true`in and bolt job she`ll be good enough for me.

If I didnt have an action already I`de get a Lawton though, I`ll have $750+ in my rem before it`s done- just fuel for thought.

Good thing though is someday,)I can switch to a Lawton in my project and rebuild my old huntin rifle with a trued rem action

Best advice is to just choose and do it!!! Have fun.

If you have any interest in a gas gun Stag Arms, http://www.stagarms.com ) manufactures a LH AR-15 action. They will sell your FFL either a full rifle, the upper, or any of the parts in between.

Rotaderp,

the "Stiller Predator" is slicker than snot, and you would FEEL better having a custom repeater.

It, the Predator, really is nice.

Thanks for the info, I did look at the Predator action and would buy one, but doesn't come left handed.

I talked to Curtis yesterday, he said they just had several LH models come off of the wire, EDM Machine. They will be available soon but, you better place your order, they'll go fast.
