I've finally got my lefty rifle (a-bolt medallion in .270WSM)
but to complimenent it I really want a left handed scope.
It's not a function thing but purely for looks.
It came with a leopold that works great but to me it looks funny with the nobs "backwards".
Does anybody make a lefty scope???
Where can I get one,hopefully locally (Vancouver)

Thanks for the help
 
No one makes a lefty scope as far as I know.

Just rotate the scope, and use elevation as windage, and vice versa.

My lefty A-Bolt Medallion in .300WM looks just FINE with the Leupold scope mounted normally... :) Don't worry about the look so much!
 
Your kidding right? No one I know of has ever made a scope with towers in reverse. I think the only way you'll get uniformity in that area is if you buy a scope with side parallax adjustments, that means three towers.
What's up with lefties being so needy:rolleyes: .:evil: .
 
a lot of us either put up with the standard set-up or possibly turn the works 90 degrees so your elevation becomes your windage and vice-versa- technically it's not right, but it does put the knobs at 9 and 12 o'clock instead of 12 and 3
 
Turn the scope around the other way.:p Things will appear alot farther away but you are not after function anyway, just looks right?:p

That's funny.

We Lefties have the advantage.......

Human physiology shows that the right hand side of the body is controlled by the left hand side of the brain...

That way only Lefties are in their right minds!!!

:p :wave:



Cheers.

I put it on backwards and it looks great. thanks ####.

I've seen a lefty scope. They do exist but maybe more ellusive than a sasquatch.
I don't think it was a "name" brand.
I do live with being in an inperfect(right-handed) world and overcome all the backward things that go with it.

Supercub,
Tsk, tsk, in this politically correct world those ummmm.... people prefer to be refered to as 'factory seconds'. Now that that is cleared up, I saw this rifle the other day that had the bolt on the wrong side and quickly informed the proprietor that the factory had made a mistake and it should be returned. He said that he ordered it that way, and I had to ask where in the world they intended to find a factory that would produce ammunition for these so called 'left-handed' rifles. It is all quite preposterous. This all must boil down to some liberal plan to confuse and disorient normal, everyday, gun owners. They are trying to convince us that they (liberals) are on our side. This all stems from the fact that everyone knows that only left-handed people are liberals and only liberals are left-handed.:p
 
Us southpaws have had a bad rap for a long time...

Main Entry: sin·is·ter
Pronunciation: 'si-n&s-t&r, archaic s&-'nis-
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English sinistre, from Anglo-French senestre on the left, from Latin sinistr-, sinister on the left side, unlucky, inauspicious

1 archaic : UNFAVORABLE, UNLUCKY
2 archaic : FRAUDULENT
3 : singularly evil or productive of evil
4 a : of, relating to, or situated to the left or on the left side of something; especially : being or relating to the side of a heraldic shield at the left of the person bearing it b : of ill omen by reason of being on the left
5 : presaging ill fortune or trouble
6 : accompanied by or leading to disaster

Also, the scopes with side focus(or parallax adjust) look just fine on lefty rigs.
 
I thought they were supposed to take "lefties" at birth, put them in a burlap sack with some rocks and......well, you know the rest:p




just kiddin' of course.

:D :D :D That's perfect!!!

Seriously, there was a tactical-style scope made with adjustment turrets rotated that way a few years ago, forget which brand (Simmons maybe?) It was a good idea because it kept the big target turrets out of the way of ejecting brass. I mount all of my big-turret scopes that way for the same reason.

p.s. gotta be careful if you go this route, some of the type-faces used on the lettering under the turret are very visible in this position and they may clash with the lettering on your rifle receiver.
