New Stock

Recommended Posts

I'm right handed and due to the fact that i am left eye dominant i have always shot bolt rifles left handed. The problem with this is the fact that stocks on right handed guns have always felt awkward. I recently found out that out you could get thumbhole stocks for right handed rifles with the thumbhole placed for lefties. I ordered one from Boyds Gun Stocks and put it on my 300 Win Mag, and gentlemen (and Ladies) i am in heaven! I can should ambidextrous but am far more accurate shooting lefty. One thing about me (lefty) shooting a right handed bolt gun, is that it forces you to make the first shot count. I added a few pics just for the heck of it.

Nice set up. right handed bolt isn't all bad when you are shooting prone.. you just cycle the bolt with the right hand and the left never leaves the trigger. There are many BR type rifles that are set up w left bolts for righties too.

The rifle is so sweet. I replaced the factory trigger with a Timney trigger set at a light 2.5lbs. I've got a Vortex 6.5-20X50PA scope with a Vortex Sunshade on it. THe scope also has custom Kenton Industries turrets tuned for the Barnes bullet specs. The scope mount is a Nightforce 20MOA Picatinny mount with Nightforce 30mm scope rings. The muzzle brake is custom, done by Harry Lawson LLC. This particular rifle loves Barnes 165gr TTSX ammo. My wife has a similar setup but chambered in 300WSM also with a Timney trigger set at 2.5lbs. Her rifle is topped with a Leupold 4-12x40AO with a 4" sunshade, and also has Kenton Industries custom turrets tuned for the Barnes 165gr TTSX. She is looking for a pink laminate thumbhole stock for it and would really like to have a brake put on hers as well. Needless to say, both rifles are absolute dream to shoot.
