Jesse JaymesLH synthetics for Winchester 70's
Saw a post below in which the HMFIC has a Montana action (LH) in a Bansner stock. I PM'd to confirm it. I do not see any LH's available for other than 700's on Mark's site.
Any other options for a LH sythetic stock for a Win 70 LA LH? I cannot stand paying $450 and waiting 4 months for a McMillan. Banser gives me a law enforcement discount, and the turn around is about 2 weeks. They do need some elbow grease to finsh, but the weight is next to nothing.

Jesse JaymesI did receive the PM. Thanks. Any idea how much effort is involved to convert a right to a left ?
Does not seem as easy as one would think,,too me.
I've wanted to try an Accurate Inovation, but I really like this Model 70 in 7 Mag that I have. I would like it to be lighter than heavier. Heard the AI stocks are very heavy.

cmfic1My 'smith said its not as tough as one would seem. Converting it was a concern when I wanted the "Hi-tech" stock. He said he does quite a few LH conversions, and he didnt even charge me to do it.
As far as AI stocks, I too have heard they are a bit heavy, but I am still pretty sure I am going to use one on the my next build, which will be an MRC action, undecided on the bbl. but will be chambered in .358 Norma. Mag.

Jesse JaymesAnyway you'd PM with a contact for your Alberta 'smith so I can see if he'd assist me in the conversion ??
Also is the ejection recess on the original right side filled in as well, or was it only the RH bolt handle recess that was filled

cmfic1Both the bolt handle and the ejection recesses were filled in. Then he cut both the same in the LH side. Pound rockymountainrifles.com (Its in Dawson Creek B.C.)into your confuser and, there should be a contact # and/or email add. The 'smiths name is Rod.
