I'm in the process of building the wife a witch barrel varmint/tactical rig. I just picked up a 116 flhss in 7 mag. It has the Accutrigger (will keep), hinged floor plate stock. My goal is to bed the action in the original stock with the only change being a new recoil lug ( barrel off, new recoil lug sss, new barrel nut sss, re-headspace, bed back in stock. That way if she ever wants to use the 7mm for hunting I can switch barrels and drop back in original stock and its ready to hunt (large game).

That's the easy part. The ultimate goal is to put a light varmit CBI tube in .243/.243AI for the 100gr+ bullets on it and have it set in a varmint /tactical style stock. Once the barrels are mounted and headspaced the barrel nuts will be secured and torqued to spec for barrel changes as a a bolt head swap. A few of the issues that come up are:

1. There is little selection for left handed long action stocks. I have a Choate Tac and love it, but want to keep hers a little lighter. A Ultimate Varmint is on the short list as is a Boyds tacticool ( can notch out for left hand right?) Most shooting will be from prone off bipod. I would need an internal magazine box and follower right? The hinged floorplate will be staying on the original stock. What other stock options are there? I've done some searches and don't come up with a whole lot. This is a budget build so chassis and Manners T-5's are out. Hoping to keep the completed rifle around 10 -11 lbs.

2. Want to eventually run a CDI dbm with AICS mags. This could screw things up a little ( not sure if there is enough wood on the tacticool to inlet a DBM.)

I know there are lefty's running long actions here that have had to think outside the box. Any ideas are welcome as I don't want to get stuck inside a box.
