    Here's some more inspiration. This is a Rem 700 LH. I built it up along the way to harden it, and enhance shootability.

    Mcmillan HTG stock
    Badger Ordnance floorplate, brake, bolt knob.
    Timney flat trigger
    SWFA 10X Milquad scope in Badger Ord rings
    Nightforce 40 MOA rail
    Bolt handle reinforced to bolt body via three welded in hex screws.

    Lost River old posts about his Tikka is what got me interested in getting a T3. It has been left stock, Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40 with Talley Lightweights and VTAC sling. Havent got to shoot it as much as I would like. Need to learn how to reload for it and have Lost River give me his reload recipe to get started. Thanks Lost River

    Well, when I was in the phase of building a bolt action rifle battery, Remington and Savage were about all there was for LH shooters.

    Lot's of great choices nowadays, that are already 'hardened'.

    I'm too far along to have any interest in retooling now, so I'm sticking with what I've got.

    I’m a Tikka shill after buying two of them (and looking at a third). They are just fantastic rifles for the cost and hard to beat IMO. Europeans don’t fool around with sloppy tolerances on their rifles and the Fins definitely know how to build one right. Drop that sucker in a KRG Bravo and you basically have a Sako TRG.

    Ruger American Hunter might be worth a look as well. These come in 16'', 20'', and 22'' barrel lenghts in 308 it looks like

    I bought my boy a standard american for his first hunting rifle and it is a nice gun for the price. These will prob be around $600 street price
