Ngrumba,
Any Idea if D’Arcy will still do a run of LH Legend stocks?
I don’t see any info on his website for ordering nowadays.
I’ve got two LH Model 70s w/Legend stocks(one on a custom 30.06 and another on a 7mm Rem Mag). I had 3 at one time and a 4th one I ordered for a friend who wanted to duplicate my rifle but in 300 Win Mag.
I’d love to order another LH Legend and do exactly what you have done….build a 264 win mag.
I talked to D’Arcy several years ago when he came out with the “Shrike” stock for the Rem 700. Asked him at the time if he had plans to do a lefty version like he had with the Legend?
He laughed and said, he did not.
Then he explained how that LH Legend mold from McMillan had cost him tens of thousands of dollars, of which he had never recovered due to only a very few LH Legend stock ever being sold.
That is a shame…..I told him at the time that I would order 2 LH Shrike stocks for Rem 700s if he’d make a mold.
Super nice guy!….D’Arcy. He will talk your ear off!😁
If, in fact, he will do another run of Lefty Legend stocks, I’d be willing to purchase another if there is enough interest here on “The Campfire” to come up with 10 orders……?

Very nice. I imagine it took some time to gather components and assemble. Not a quick process.

Gorgeous rifle! I'd be interested in a Lefty M70 order if we can get it going!

Other than the bolt being on the wrong side that is a stunner! The bolt is perfect exactly like it is. Don't listen to him...except for where he said it was a stunner. He did get that part right.  Just out of curiosity anyone have an idea who makes that rear bag? Looks like an Edgewood: https://edgebag.com/products/original-rear-bag![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/T3YMkssR/24-HR-Edgewood.jpg) Thank you!

I've had a couple of LH M70s and just couldn't warm up to them. However, that one might just do it for me.

Nice rifle!
Who did the stock work, bedding, painting, etc.? I don’t believe Mark does glass stocks.

Very well done. I believe Mark is not set up to do the machine inletting on the flat top Echol’s stocks, only the McMillan/Echol’s factory Pre inletted stocks.

That is a fine looking, correctly handed rifle. In an awesome chambering.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Leftybolt I obviously do not understand the economics of building a stock mold and sub-contracting with McM to build custom stocks. However, I always got the impression that there was an outstanding demand for LH Echols Legend stocks? Multiple people, including myself, have posted that we would be interested in purchasing at least one more, if they became available... I would be willing to pre-pay...
