I have spent my entire life, to date, shooting right-handed rifles. I'm going to buy myself a retirement plinker present in left-hand. The below 788 came up on Gunbroker and it caught my attention even though it's not quite what I am looking for (22-250 or .243) in a 300-600 yard recreational target rifle. But close enough. Left-hand bolt/ right-hand eject.
What questions should I ask of the owner about the bolt/action/stock conversion? It is a fair amount of money for a 788, opening bid, but I'm intrigued by the rear locking lugs. Any advice yea or nay would be appreciated.
"Up for Sale is an Awesome Remington Model 788 in 6MM Rem caliber, Left Handed which is even more Awesome because it is a left handed Bolt but the shells extract on the right side. Rifle Comes with the original manual sights and with added weaver scope bases mounted on receiver. NOTE: If you want to remove the original manual sights you will receive 3 plug screws (included). Rifle is like new doesn't seem that it was used, handled or fired much."
