[QUOTE="old_heli_logger, post: 219785, member: 7038"] I'm thinking about taking the plunge; I've never owned a custom rifle and I've always wanted one. I plan to start gathering pieces and parts. I guess my first consideration would be a good receiver/action and stock. I like the sound of the .338AM or Edge maybe even the .375AM (this build will be years in the making, so maybe there will be better bullets available for the .375 by then...). I don't mind making it a single-shot... My problem is that I'm a lefty. What would be a good action? I'd like a custom, but I don't know if anyone makes a left-hand custom action (Bat, Borden, Nesika...etc.). I'd even consider a right-action/left port...Would a left-hand LA Remington 700 handle the .338AM? I like the looks of the McMillan A-5 tactical stock, do they make one like that for us lefties? I'd also like to get Kirby to build it for me...:D Sorry for the long post...I think I'm dreaming. [/QUOTE]
