hi guys
I built a turbo RP/RB, I was wondering if anyone has cut a small loading port on the left side to load easier? would like to have any info.
 
I have seen a couple of turbo actions that Roger Brock opened up. I saw one that Flash did himself. Talk to either one of these gentlemen and I bet they can help you. Just put a solid one piece scope base to help strenghten up the action.
Flash Ebert 432-664-1120
Roger Brock 660-446-2415

There is one for sale in the classifieds that has double port
 
Butch Hongisto was going to do it to my Turbo, but I didn't like the idea of removing rigidity from the receiver.
 
Butch did mine

I have a Hall RP/RB model that Butch Hongisto open ed on the left side. That way I can load right port and eject left port, or a RH & a LH shooter can you the same rifle.

Mike Drake could tell you a little about that if he was still hanging around here. Hongisto opened his up and he won about everything around here with it and a Border Barrel.
 
the reason i didnt buy a lp/rb is i could not find one when i was looking for one. thanks for all the info been very helpful but all i want to do is mill a small port on the left side of action.
 
I can tell you this, if the rifle has been bedded and stocked then you are screwed. Opening the other side will effect the bedding. Aside of that, opening both sides effects the integrity of the action. It's not impossible to shoot well with that configuration, as wb9uze said Mike Drake won about everything in our parts with it. But it became absolutley critical that he had his torques on his action screws exactly correct every match. Otherwise I'm like you (in a mirror image)....I have a LPRB and shoot left handed and load ammo blind. Has it affected me? Yes! How much? Enough to tell you that I asked the same question right away to the gunsmith that barreled the action and he told me to plan on re-bedding the action and having to deal with loss of integrity. That was two and a half years ago and I just load blind. I don't do it well when it's cold or when I'm racing to keep shooting in a condition that I like. But be aware of the implications of opening both sides of the action. Just my 2cents.
