LH 6.5 creedmore build

Looking for opinions on lightweight 6.5 creedmore builds, actions or barrel actions.
Mainly used for NRLH, currently shooting a right hand rifle and doing okay but would eventually like to invest in dedicated LH build.

Budget?

For the cost of a custom barreled action you can put together a Tikka in a chassis for better mags. If you run in factory a Tikka would make it simple. That is what I am thinking about doing. The Tikka action is the smoothest factory action, and the trigger can be turned down enough to make it perfect.

The new UM Raven action would be a solid choice for custom Tikka platform.

For a custom barreled action, you can screw together almost exactly what you want with prefit barrels. Many of the custom action makers do a left handed version. Other than the Raven. I think the REM 700 is the only platform worth building off of.

Savage would be another choice, their barrels shoot better more often IMO than lots of others. But, if you can afford a Savage, save up and get a Tikka.
