    Source for left-hand R700 barreled actions?

    Looking for short action options.

    I have an MDT chassis on the way.

    Thanks!,

    Bruno Shooters Supply, Northland Shooters Supply & probably Pacific Tool & Gauge all have actions listed for sale.

    I would also check Grab-a-gun & Buds.

    Bruno’s will install a barrel for you.

    Northland will sell you a Remage barrel & nut. Not sure if they’ll
    install a shouldered barrel or not.

    I’m left handed. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a left handed “factory barreled action” for sale anywhere other than a private party. Not saying they aren’t out there somewhere, I’ve just not seen them.

      NSS won’t barrel the action, but will supply everything you need to do it yourself. Once you own the tools, swapping barrels is just a matter of a few minutes.

      Guess it depends on wether you’re looking for a factory or custom. Can always pick up a cheap Remy and sell the stock.

        The easiest/cheapest source of a lefty 700SA is to buy a whole gun.
        The youth models often go cheaper on gunbroker.

            Thanks to all. I’ll look around at those sources.

              Hey Rick, thanks for all the great leads.

              Also just FYI, I recently stumbled upon these from Brownells in several calibers:


              I didnt see a LH option, though admittedly, i didnt look very long/deep into Brownell’s site.

                I am a left handed shooter, and I have assembled a couple of a LH Remington 700 actions into rifles. If I had to do it again, I would look on gunbroker.com, there are frequently a few LH 700 rifles for sale and they are not expensive. I also built a rifle on a Stiller Predator action, which is a stainless steel action that is modeled after the Rem 700 action, and it is already trued action and precision made. By the time you buy an action and have it trued, you could spend just a little more and have a Stiller Predator action.

                  How much are you looking to spend on the action? Also are you looking for just the action or a barreled action?

                  A lot of the major action companies sell LH actions. I just picked up a LH ARC nucleus barreled action from snipershide, they have a for sale section for us south paws which is nice. You could always look there for used.

                    I have not really seen the LH stripped actions actually available very often.
                    That's why I would just search for a complete gun to take apart.

                        Did you get the $100 LSS or the $470 TAC21 Black Friday offer?

                              Yes, I believe it was Thursday/Friday only. While I was shopping I could see items going into backorder/out of stock status as I refreshed and moved from screen to screen. Very quick selling stuff, I think.
