Left Handed Rifles
« on: December 19, 2012, 02:58:38 PM »
Im in the market for a new rifle. I want it to be left handed so ive found that my options are somewhat limited. Im leaning towards the Browning x-bolt in a 300mag cal. ive also looked at the browning BAR but cant get over the clip. (i like the straight pop in rather then the drop down plate)

Does anyone have any suggestions on left handed hunting rifles in a 300cal?

Id like the bolt action to have a clip or a semi auto to have the straight in load rather then the flip plate.

Thank you.

This can't be right? Biggerhammer recommending a Tikka? I think the Mayan's may actually be right and the world really is going to end on Friday.

Savage has 2 LH models in 300 Mag (3 if you count the WSM) with a DBM. Wood and synthetic stock versions.

I'm a lefty and a fresh convert to the Savage 111 cult.

I hunted with a BAR for a lot of years.   Being lefty was no big deal with that, and the flip door didn't bother me.

But my new 111 shoots way better than my BAR ever did.   

With a sample size of 1 each, I'm now convinced that Savage is the way to go.       :tup:

not easy to find but not impossible either are new "pre-64" Winchesters built on the classic sporter action.
[smg id=11787]
I found 2 in 30-06 & saw another in 7 WSM, got one of mine new in box from Cabela's in Billings MT. got the other new in box at a pawn shop in Spokane. saw the WSM in Billings Cabela's too but not at the same time. saw one in 30-06 on gunbroker but it quickly went over $1700 when auction got close to end
