[QUOTE="Monterey21, post: 1515760, member: 105626"] Don't overlook the 28 Nosler. The Rifle will require the wyatt extended mag box and follower if you seat the bullet out to get the case capacity you will need for the velocity you want with the 195VLD. Plus the bottom of the receiver will need to be modified for that box. Bighorn will accommodate you at your request if you do so with the order up front. I'm a lefty and just finishing the same rifle. 28 Nosler, AG Composite carbon stock, 26" Proof carbon barrel 8 twist with Brake from Whidden Gun Works. Bighorn long SR3 left hand Long Mag Bolt head action. Bix'n Andy sporter trigger. I got here due to a year of experience with another custom 28 Nosler. The 180VLD and down is one animal, the 195 is a different world.
