Seems if you could find a Tikka 6.5 Creedoor barrel SS and rechamber to 6.5 PRC, and install it on a Magnum bolt face, like the 300 WSM, you would have a LH SS 6.5 PRC? Would the rechamber clean up with no issue?

Seems like a lot of work when you can just get a 6.5PRC pre-fit for a Tikka without all the hassle.
There is a guy I've shot with here in Texas selling two Tikka barrels-- one is a Krieger 6.5PRC and then other is a factory 300wsm chopped to 21"-- brass and dies for both I think-- literally would be a screw on, almost switch barrel type deal with a mag bolt face Tikka action...

Definitely a good choice on the tikka for a prc build.
Just an FYI on tikka magazines, I have a left hand 270 wsm with long action bolt stop so I can run bullets how ever far I want. I first started with a factory wsm magazine that I removed block. I have since bought a mountain tactical long action magazine and HCA magazine. Specs are as follows
Factory magazine
-2 rounds
3.38 max oal
1.3 ounces
Mountain tactical long magazine
3 rounds
3.42 max oal
3.1 ounces
HCA magazine
3rounds
3.39 max oal
3 ounces
All feed perfectly from my rifle so my preference is for the HCA just because of the bumps that keep rounds from sliding forward during recoil

I’m sorry kk but I’m gonna reccomend the HCA magazine with the replacement long action bolt stop. It’s just to small of an investment in time and money to not recommend it. With those mods you will end up with the best option available for the 6.5 prc. Just my humble opinion

Just hells canyon armory for the mag and then mountain tactical for the bolt stop. google will bring up their website.
The bolt stop replacement is really simple. Pm me with your number and it can walk you through it. I’ll gladly talk with you about any other questions you have as well. I look forward to hearing from you!

Over on the 65 CM forum there was word that Browning is working on a lefty 6.5 PRC.
News may come out at the Shotshow later this month.

kk, you can find the magazines and long action bolt stops lefty spoke of at this website: www.tikkaperformance.com
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

Got the HCA Mag and the LA bolt stop. My HCA would not feed called HCA and got it sorted out a burr on the spring holder was causing it to hang up.
