I have been in the planning phase to build a left handed Model 11 that originally started life as a 223 Rem. I originally was going to take her to a 6.5 Grendel. But after much thought, I have made the final dissension to go with the 6.5x47 Lapua. I know I need a new bolt head. But what size I do not yet know. I will be getting it from PTG. Also are their any other issues that I can expect with this caliber conversion. I plan to order my barrel from Shillen around the first of the month.
When in doubt; ask questions.
