Currently piecing together all the stuff to finalize my 7mm Rem Mag build and still needing a chassis.

Was originally going to use the TAC21 chassis until I called on friday and was told they had NO magazine that worked with the 7RM. Great.

Here's my problem. I prefer a left handed bolt and I shoot right handed. For me, I can keep my cheek welded, keep my right hand where it needs to be and use that lazy left hand to adjust the rear monopod or bag between shots and keep bullets coming.

Alot of companies do NOT offer anything with a left hand bolt/right hand shooter, especially in LONG action.... and to add to it, im shooting a 7mm Rem Mag. Not exactly a short bullet.

I wish the XLR chassis had a lefty setup that had a magazine that would work with me, but from the website, I see no magazines dedicated to work. "Closest" is 338 lapua which is alot larger than I need, and I use the term closest loosely.

Ideas? I honestly want to keep the stock under a grand if possible.
 
Any long action Aics 300 wm mag will work... The XLR should not be an issue.... The Aics or ax in long action will work, as will the McRee long action...
 
It took me a while to figure out what to use stock. While I'm left handed I shot a right hand bolt gun, the problem is most stocks have a comb and cheek set up for right handed shoots. After some reading I elected to use the McRee chassis on my 6.5CM. They uses AI proven magazine and installation only requires torquing 2 bolts. Having adjustable cheek pieces with enough height to compensate for 20 moa rail was another plus. McRee also sell a cool stock pack that makes the cheek weld comfy, along with a place to keep all the tools needed for a range day. Recently I added an AI and they also produce a nice chassis, thats is avail in a left handed - long action version. Since the comb is straight on both the chassis systems they will work for your shooting style.
