[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 1036904, member: 79106"] That's a tough order. I know of no manufacturers making a 300 RUM in left hand, I could be wrong, lord know that happens enough. If I was trying to do it for 2k I would start with a left hand Savage 111 trophy hunter in 7 mag and have a gunsmith re-barrel it. You might get someone who makes a pre-chambered barrel which is an easy change on a Savage, however there is some controversy chambering the large diameter cartridges in the small shank receivers. Best way around this is to have your gunsmith install the barrel without the barrel nut. There will be magazine modifications to allow the fat, long cartridges to feed properly. You should be able to sell your brand new unfired barrel right here on the forum. Rifle; $600 Barrel chambered and installed $750? Brake installed and timed (not necessary but highly recommended) $200+ Magazine modifications $100? Boyds laminated stock with pad upgrade (the Savage stock sucks) $150 $1800 and you still need a scope, base and rings. [/QUOTE]
