[QUOTE="lgraham, post: 582938, member: 24438"] I want to build myself a new sheep rifle and had a couple of questions? First, I was wondering which action would be best for a custom build sheep rifle in left hand? Has to be short action ( I've chosen 7mm-08 or 7mm-08 AI as my caliber of choice but am open to other suggestions). I keep hearing of the 700 Ti but can't find anything about them being available in left hand. Anyhow, I would prefer a stainless action as I live in Alaska and a rifle is very exposed to the elements on a mountain hunt up here. Second, which barrel (stainless also) would be best for a 7mm-08 (make, length, twist rate... etc.) Obviously as a mountain hunting rifle I would like to keep the weight down as much as possible, however not so much as to limit my accuracy (I still would like to be able to shoot out to 600 yards, I was thinking of maybe a 24" barrel). Finally any recommendations on a good lightweight left hand stock? As well as this I also want to add a timney or jewel trigger. I would like to keep the price down as much as possible too. (yes, I know custom and cheap don't go together but I was thinking buy doing this myself I could save a little) Also is it really worth building a custom gun or am I just gonna spend a bunch of money on a rifle that sounds a little cooler but shoots the same as a factory gun in the end? Thanks for any advise, Luke [/QUOTE]
