Best Left-Handed Bolt for a 416 Rigby
greetings all you nimrods;

I have a Ruger #1 in 416 Rigby which I like quite well, however, I am considering building a LH Bolt rifle... (would hate to fumble the reload when it really counted...)

I am looking for some adive on which my be a good option out there-Win M70 (too bad they're going away, worse that they wouldnt chamber me one in 416 rem), also the montana 1999, maybe a few others.

Howdy,
when/if the Montana Ph comes out, that's your choice. You can contact GMA, or empire rifles for a big lefty

I think waiting for a left handed PH action might be fultile. It would probably fit in the MRC long action with a little work, much less work than it would take in a Mauser or M70 action anyway.

I am also left handed. Empire Rifles are making their own action or buy yourself a granite mountain action and away you go. As far as strength and quality Granite Mountain makes all of Westley Richards actions now.
