[QUOTE="coyotekiller82, post: 950342, member: 19000"] Thought you'd get a kick outta my "backwards" comment!! My brother is a lefty who grew up in a RH dominated world too, and like you has learned to use RH guns, but that's no substitute for the proper tool...in your case, a LH action!! I still like to harass him about it every now and again though. Now that we're all grown and on our own, he has started to fill his safe with lefties! The go gauge in 308 is all I used. To make it a NO-GO gauge, I add a couple of layers of the clear tape, used for gift wrapping etc, to the back of the GO gauge. The AI and the factory cartridge chamber off the same datum line, which is the same as the 308 go gauge...screw the barrel on with the extractor removed from the bolt and you should be set!! I always check after with the tape trick to make sure. That must be awesome to have so much room to shoot!! We're not terribly limited up here in Manitoba, but in the south of the province there are mile roads everywhere...not easy to find a place a guy can shoot safely out to a mile. The range across from my parents place (neighbors field) I can stretch out to 3/4 of a mile or so. One of the reasons I enjoy living where I do as well! Regarding wind...this time of year is horrendous here too...come to think of it, most of the year is windy here on the Northern Prairie! A guy could wait his life away waiting for a calm day to shoot!! That's impressive...1788 with your 7RM! Your setup will be a very nice shooter at a grand & as you say, the possibility of stretching its legs out further is all the fun!!! Good luck with your build and be sure to keep us posted!!
