I just stumbled across a picture of a right bolt/left port Savage. This is on my bucket list, but I was thinking GAP or Defiance action. If a Savage can be had cheaper, I'll get it off my bucket list sooner. It looked like the LRPV was the model. Are these singles or repeaters? Assuming short action. Large shank?? Are there any other models that offer right bolt/left port?? Are any right bolt/left port guns still in production??

The Savage target action uses the large shank barrel and is a single shot. It also has three action screws instead of two but, you can get away with using only the front and rear one for a build if you care to.

I've got a Savage action which is left port right bolt and it's great for F/TR. I wish my F-Open Class rifle was left port.

I'm starting to drool over this too. Can be had at various Gun Shops for $525- $575. Comes with target accutrigger, and …well, you can read for yourself.

For price of a barrel and action I can have a very nice gun with the takeoffs from my others.

The other I am contemplating sending to Fred for the works and a #4 brux barrel in 6.5 saum. Put it in a McMillian A3 sportster.

no that is the stock I am getting.

Shehane st-1000L in obeche indian paint I am going to have them do the whole deal. Inlet, pillar and glass bed, and paint. Expensive but I have always wanted one. the barrel channel will be inletted for a switchbarrel setup. I will be able to switch barrels without removing the action from the stock or the scope from the action. Right now I have a 6 br barrel and a 6.5 creedmore barrel. Many more to come.
