New lefty "custom"
Thought some of the lefties might enjoy a picture or three of my new 7mm Mashburn based on a LH Model 70 action.

That's a heck of a working rifle!

While not up to internet standards, these represent initial load development while I fought daylight and three scrapping kids behind me. Smiler

Ignore the top groups/holes. They are another rifle that I was experimenting with loads on. Keep in mind they are 200 yd groups and three different bullets and they start with a cold clean bore and group 5 was shot with a smokin hot barrel.

In my mind that is a pretty honest rifle. Thoughts?

Very, very nice. Looks great. Shoots great. Now we need the details:
barrel? twist? dia at muzzle?
stock - edge or fiberglass?
overall weight?
who built it?
what did you build it for (deer, moose, sheeps, goats, zombies)?
