Looking for left hand rifle actions to build a d.i.y. gun. Where can I find a
place to buy them.

jdbfair,
Welcome to the forums.
Perhaps looking for a model of a rifle that is in left handed used to get the action from it might be cheaper then buying the action itself ??

Welcome, drag up a stump.
The last 700 LH short action I found was at the Tulsa show, just one gun in 4 shows, the largest show in the world. The price was $1,800 in a custom rifle. Were I not wanting to spend a lifetime looking, I would just order/ buy a new LH Winchester or Remington gun and build what I wanted.
This is a list of the 700s that are made in LH, as a special order:

I do not if any of you have heard of H-S Precision rifles they are not real cheap but I know that anyone that has shot one has told me they would not shoot another rifle. You can custom design it on line and they will give you a price.
They guarantee 1/2" at 100 yards in 30 calibre or less.
They will make in left or right hand models.

H-S Precision rifles are built using M700 "style" (their own production I believe) actions.
They are expensive, but their take down model looks interesting, would make going on a trip in a airport easier, doesn't look like a long gun case so you wouldn't get questioned by anyone but the guy at the secure check in.
