I am a noob and cheap. (I know, this hobby is anything but cheap)
Have LH Tikka magnum action and want to build a LH 6.5 CM. Have had no luck trading for Standard action or bolt. With the correct bolt stop, can I make the magnum action feed 6.5 CM? I already hace a Tikka pre fit and LH MTD inletted for Tikka

Thanks fir the verification. Probably the best solution is to but a std bolt?

Yes, new bolt and a new bolt stop is what you'll need (If you can find a left hand bolt). I know at one point LRI was making Tikka bolts, not sure if that's true anymore.

Don't forget a new magazine or whatever system you're using for feeding too.

Edit: AND a new barrel/chamber of course, but I assumed you know that.
