Left hand aftermarket options

**Beechy09** · 04-16-2019, 08:34 PM

Hey! Brand new to the forum but have learned a lot from looking around here. I have a Left handed model 11 in .260 that I’m going to be rebarrelling to 7mm-08. Barrel should be here this week!
I would like to upgrade the stock and the bolt handle as well. It’s a bottom bolt release and I think Boyd’s is all I’ve found for this action. I do like Boyd’s but just trying to figure what else is out there first. Also would like to find a stainless bolt handle. I’ve found a couple but all seem to be the large “tactical” style. Any factory size out there that are a little more stylish?
Thanks!

I got a good deal on the rifle which just happened to be.260. Bought with the intention of rebarreling to get a SS barrel. Was torn between.260 and 7mm-08. Ended up going with the 7mm-08 because of the availability of heavier bullets. This will be a short (20”) barrel hunting rifle, 99% whitetail but also planning on taking our horses out west for elk soon

I am in the same boat looking for lefty parts. I didn't want to use a boyds stock so I am stuck having to go with a McMillan. It is costly but with weight and all other things considered it was my best option. Being a long action cut a lot of options out for me also. Short action I am thinking that Bell & Carlson had some options. Choate makes a very nice stock but it is very heavy.
