Build a rifle or buy a rifle? Left Handed

[K_pem]

Debating on either

A.) Buying a used T3X and dropping it in a MDT, barrel and trigger down the road maybe.

OR

B.) Take advantage of one of the few more premium Left hand offerings (Fierce, CA, Bergara, WBY)

Thoughts?

Build it. Look at Brownells and type in actions on the search. You can get a barreled action from a bunch of manufacturers. You save money as no stock. Also you have actions that can take barrels no work needed. Just add the stock. Very good prices. Left will make it harder but they have Tikka actions ready to go.

Might be interesting to go with a bare action and just buy a carbon barrel from the get go.

kinda depends on what you're hoping to do with the rifle. i'm sad tikka doesn't offer us the full assortment of rifles/calibers in left hand but i also haven't been able to justify spending the time or money to "make" a different rifle. for my hunting and shooting purposes, it just didn't make sense.

do i want to build a sweet 300 wsm from one of my 7 mags? yes. but will i take it out hunting more than once, nope ha.

Buy one of the Euro Optic close out Tikkas in LH… add the stock and barrel of your choice. Don’t do anything to the trigger.
