[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1777113, member: 100006"] Looking for information on the logistics of converting a bolt head. I'm going to start an interesting rifle build now that the Christmas bonus is on the way if it's even possible. I'm wanting to build a .22 K-Hornet left hand straight pull bolt rifle. I know this configuration doesn't exists in any factory form that I know of but I know there are left-handed straight pull out there and I know there are right handed 22 Hornet straight pulls out there. I'm trying to source information of how big of a pain this will be if it's even possible at all. In my head this project would entail: [LIST=1] [*]Sourcing a left hand straight pull in a convertible caliber (223 remington?). [*]Converting the bolt to work with 22 Hornet [*]rebarrel action for 22 K-Hornet [*](Probably) Have custom stock made to accept CZ hornet mags and CZ bottom metal [/LIST] Hoping someone on here would have some insight or a direction I can start looking or if this is an unobtainable pipe dream or if this is a wild $5000+ project that is just unfeasible. Was hoping to get the project done in under $2000 but it's not a deal breaker if it's more, it just depends how much more. [U][B](side note) If anyone is curious as to why I want to build this rifle;[/B][/U] this has been a pipe dream of mine for over 10 years now to build. After reading some article (that I can not find again) proclaiming the 22 Hornet as the "perfect Turkey caliber", I bought a H&R Handi Rifle in 22 K-Hornet for $75 and have killed many Jakes with it and I love that little caliber. The in college I shot a K31 my roommate bought at the local gun show as well as watching the winter Olympic biathlon athletes with their super slick straight-pull 22's. I have been obsessed with building this idea to have a left-handed 22 K-Hornet straight pull and finally I (hopefully) have enough funds to do it. [/QUOTE]
