[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 220737, member: 7449"] Nesika Bay Precision builds left handed actions. For the cartridges you are describing, you'll need to go with the M action due to the large bolt face (.590") The M has a .750" bolt body diameter. If its a single shot, then it's an easy and simple build. There are three receiver diameters available. 1.350, 1.470, and 1.700. My advice, stick with the 1.350. Despite what many may claim. the 1.350 diameter will run this gun just fine. Order the fatty recoil lug (.312) and get a drop bolt so it clears your optics. I advise a Sako extractor for this cartridge. Get your brass as soon as possible. If it's Lapua stuff be sure to measure the rim thickness, it tends to run on the heavy side which is fine, but be sure to let Nesika know so there's no problems with the extractor lipping over the case mouth. I used to be their rifle dept production manager, so this is all from experience. If a single shot, I'd advocate no ejector. It's not needed, just reach up there and grab your fired case. No sense in slinging 2.00 brass all over the creation for necks to get dinged up and loaded with dirt and funk. Sounds like a great project. Good luck with it. Oh, the McMillan A-5 stock is ambidextrous. It won't mind the L/H action one bit. If you order a Nesika, I advise to get it in the Remington style tang for this stock. Just looks better with the way the back end transitions down to the grip. The heavy tang will work fine also, but I like the Remmy style for cosmetics. Sunny Hill Enterprises makes a very nice single shot trigger guard in SS that'll match the action real well. Nesika also offers action screws with extra deep allen sockets. Ask for a front screw estuchean too. they look sharp! Cheers. Chad Chad Dixon LongRifles, Inc (Coming Soon) [/QUOTE]
