Thread: Question for custom builders (lefty 260/6.5 on a budget)

Rem, Howa, Tikka doesn't really matter. What ever is in budget and available short action. Re-Barrel price bellow.

If you were cunning you could get a t3 lefty in what ever caliber had the same bolt face as the 6.5x55 and buy a right handed 6.5x55 and just do a caliber swap between the rifles.
then just sell the other rifle.

ok, bill999 gets the smartie prize for the day...

There is a left hand ruger .270 on TM for $700, I know its a long action and not your preferred calibre but could be a good donor for something!

fuck we are retarded. tikkas come in 6.5x55 as per factory.

Tikka T3 Lite Stainless Synthetic Left Hand **Choose Calibre**

hehe, see reply #2 & #3

also (theoretically) available in 260 Rem from factory. both 6.5 and 260 1-in-8 twist.

i've never seen a 6.5 LH T3 in any of the local shops or websites (links to GC don't count, avoid them like the plague)

guess it depends on if you can convince one of the NZ retailers to get one in without charging a mad premium for the privilege

im sure reloaders suppliers would be happy to sort one out.
it may be a little wait tho
but before you do that let your fingers do the walking and ring around to see what each importer has.
one will be happy to sort you out

yup, dan @ reloaders has helped me out before, good friendly service, quick response. will definitely be my first call.

gotta save da dollars before i can think about getting da gun

I have a friend here in Taranaki that has a left hand T3 in .260. Shoots great.
