Left hand rifles

tikka t3 for me.

I had a t3 hunter stainless in 300wm. Was just too light of a rifle in my opinion. Practicing with it was brutal.

Now I have the 6.5x55 and I'd really like to find that rifle in a LH stainless laminate set up!
 
Use what you like.

i am left handed, and have used right handed bolts on a normal basis. Left handed rifles feel extremely awkward to me.

The one thing I have never understood is how so many left handers feel the need to work the bolt with the left hand. Waaaaaaay more awkward and slow. Use your right hand/support hand, and you can work the bolt as fast as an experienced right hander, simple as that.

With the open part of the action, being on the wrong side I agree with, but I way more prefer having all functions within sight.

there is no wrong way, just more awkward.

Dont let all these guys tell you you dont need a left handed rifle. There are more options available now than there have ever been, you can find what your looking for you just need to be on top of it. There are left handed rifles up on the exchange of all makes and calibers, you just have to be looking when they pop up cuz they dont last long. I'm on the exchange ar least once a day. It only takes a few minutes and I can do it from my smart phone. I personally own left handed rifles in so many calibers, including. 204, 222, 223, 22-250, 243, 25/06, .270, 30/06, 270wsm, 7mm mag, 300rum to name a few. Almost all off the exchange.
 
Where is the love for the left handers. There is not a lot of rifles made in left hand. And when they do produce them, it's in small amounts and then it is also a matter of the gun store willing to keep stock for it or not.

Edit: also if someone sees a left handed savage axis ii. I'd love to know where
