Left Handed Guns
« on: January 15, 2012, 01:15:22 PM »
My son is 11 years old and he is left handed.  I was recommended to get a Savage 10-22...becuase of the price and being cheap to shoot for his first ones....any others that I should look at?!?!

11 means get him his hunter ed and start him on youth turkey. 870 youth model works great.

Remington makes a bunch of lefties.  I'm a lefty as well and am slowly picking up left handed rifles.

Sidenote! Is he left eye dominant? If he is then nevermind. If not, he may benefit from learning to shoot right handed. I shoot pool lefty but everything else is righty. It's all what you start with.

I am right handed left eye dominate... Here are the guns i like. I like Mossburg pumps, 500 &835 because the safety is universal Up top. Never used the safety on my 870 because it was too hard to use when duck hunting.   Lever guns are good/ I have a 30-30 Win that i love, LH cousin has an 06 top eject on both of them. I bought an LH rem700 06. Choices are much more limited on LH bolt guns. I would think an excellent way to get you boy started would be one of those multi barrel youth single shots. .243, 12 g, .22lr Seen some of them on sale in the classifieds...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I shoot left-handed myself but a left-handed gun is by no means a necessity. The Savage MkII is a great gun for out of the box accuracy if you are looking for an accurate cheap shooter for him to learn with.

Have a look at this one https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/24839
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
