Hello to all forum members,

I am a new user. I have been kicking the issue around for a while and have posted on some other forums but am particularly interested in what I may read on this one; currently building a father/son pair of matched rifles in 375 H & H. As I am a LH shooter and he is a RH shooter our search has become a tad more challenging for actions.

Sjo, the question I am posting relates to what is already a lively discussion topic as far as I can tell, that is, I seek opinions on the following actions as well as arguments in favor of or against the following:

GMA (5 month turnaround I am told)

Waffenfabrik Hein (worth a year's wait?)

CZ (if they ever produce the 550 in LH)

Winchester (Dad has a pre 64 and I suppose I could find a Classic with a .532 bolt face and we could have lnew bottom metal created as well as a magnum length magazine box)

I am intrigued by the GMA and the Hein as I am sure most might be...

A left hand M-70 magnum classic is not going to be easy to find but they're out there and not at all difficult to convert to .375 H&H length. I'm not sure what the other higher priced guys offer in the LH version.

Granite Mountain Arms offers a Left hand model called the Express Magnum.

I think your best bet is the Winchester Classic. They are not hard to find in LH but they are going for a little more than they did two years ago. The .375 will easily fit on any of the magnum calibers--300 WM, 7mm Rem Mag, etc.--and .375 bottom metal is on the shelf at Brownells or direct from Sunny Hill--there's no difference between the LH and RH bottom metal. It's also not that hard to fit the .375 to a standard length action if that's all you find.

Here's a candidate: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=71443652

And here's one from the factory, NIB: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=71375982

How about this one, new in the box.

Do you have a right-hand one to match it? If you do that would be an even better choice.
