I have been searching trying to find a .325 WSM Left Handed Rifle with no results. I would prefer stainless and something lite. Do not like the Browning products. Any suggestions would be great. | ||

Montana Rifle people in the ?Kalispel? region of Montana make left handed, short action Winchester M70 clones in both Chrome Moly and stainless steel. They also make a variety of barrels, including those chambered for the WSMs. | |||

Some options are a MRC or other custom manufactor. Even though I love ss rifles I been informed some of the coatings are even more effective than stainless against rust. A ss barreled action from MRC will cost $900 and then add $450 for a McMillan stock unless you can find one off the CZ that is no longer made. But the MRC's are a very heavy choice for a short action. Another option is to buy a blued LH Win 70 in an existing short magnum then have it rebarreled and plated. Costs are $700 for the rifle (if you can find one), 400-500 for the rebarrel, and 300-400 for the plating. Last option that I am aware of is to buy a stainless Savage (500) in one of the short mags and have it rebarreled (400-500). But the Savages only hold two down. Or you could just buy a 300 WSM in any number of rilfes and be happy with it. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

You can rebarrel a savage yourself, it is quite easy. All you really need is a vise with wood inserts to hold the barrel and the wrench fur the barrel nut and a sized cartridge case to do it. The tupperware stock that savage sells is terrible... | |||
