Custom Left Hand 8mm Rem Mag in the works - 05/09/10
I'm a big 8mm mag fan and I'm finally doing a custom. I picked up a LH stainless Montana Rifle Co action here in the classifieds and a #4 contour stainless 8mm blank from MRC. I found an HS Precision stock with bedding block for a LH Win 70. While those two actions look the same and the hole spacing is the same, the MRC action is a lot beefier. Whew! I spent hours inletting the HS stock for the MRC action but now the action and bottom metal slip in and out freely and the action doesn't move when I tighten the screws.
The action and blank have been sent out to Kevin Cram of Montour County Rifles for chambering and installing. Kevin is a great guy who does top notch work. Here is his web address: www.mcrifles.com . I'll bed the action to the stock when it comes back.
I'm going to shoot the 220 gr Sierra Gameking, it ought to be serious elk medicine. Can't wait to shoot it!
