Edit - SOLD. Thanks!
Good morning folks! I've been a long time follower of this thread and even have a good start on my hobbit rifle build. I am a lefty and I wanted a rifle that both I could use as a pack rifle and my kids could shoot as they get old enough to start shooting centerfire and hunting big game. The size, weight, and ambidextrous nature of the hobbit rifle seems to check all of the boxes, so I started my build. My oldest son is left eyed and left handed like me and I just discovered that my 2nd, a daughter, although she's right handed, is left eyed. Upon learning this I've actually become very excited about getting a light-weight left-handed bolt action for them instead.
It's no dis on the hobbit rifle, but I already hunt with single shots, and have never owned my own bolt action. (My dad turned me on to Ruger #1's when I bought my first rifle at 14 because he didn't want me to be "stuck" with a left handed rifle that I would never be able sell if I needed to).
All of this to say, I have enjoyed watching this thread and I may be listing my rifle in the classifieds, but I wanted to let those following here have the opportunity to send me a PM if they are interested in a build of their own. The rifle configuration is practically finished, except I hadn't quite gotten around to cutting and threading the barrel. So the barrel could be kept, sold, or traded to get the caliber, make, length, etc that you want.
TC Encore Pro Hunter - stainless, 24" Rochester Factory .308 Win barrel- blued, sharps grip, and a folding SIG M4 buffer tube and buttstock. I also purchased an Adaptive Tactical Performance Stock with a thicker recoil pad (pictured) to swap out for the kids to shoot with. I would sell with both buttstocks. Bipod would not be included.
If any hobbit rifle lurkers have been waiting for an opportunity to jump in, please shoot me a PM. There's lots of TC fans out there that may jump on this if I list it, so I wanted this those in this thread to get the firstcrack at it.
