Okay, this may be a stupid question so if it is feel free to tell me.....
But i had an earlier thread about stiffening a 700-varmint stock up, as i'm a lefty and they're are few stock choices that don't cost 4-500+
So i was wondering could i take the following stock, http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet/the-304/bell-carlson-tactical-remington/Detail
*B&C Tactical Medalist A3 Hook 2956
and cut out the channel for a left handed bolt while leaving the factory right handed cutout? Would this effect the strength of the action? I'm thinking that all of the internal forces of the rifle being fired are linear and move straight back against the recoil lug, pillars, and rear tang, so there's no side to side movement in the action.
Am I crazy or would this work? I just don't want to drop the coin on a manner's for this rifle (saving that for a custom build), so would this be a good cheap alt? I've searched this site and snipercentral and found one guy over there that asked the question but didn't get an answer. I figure you guys search the hide alot too so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
