LF Left handed
- Thread starter 92FS Inox
- Start date
You can find the VS in left handed no problem. What caliber are you looking for?
keep in mind as a lefty, it is way easier to load rounds into the magazine and chamber of a right handed bolt gun than the left -especially if you have a one piece scope base.

russells has a whole bunch of LH VSs in the catalog, i think they must have got them on clear out when Remington changed all the models...
Pain in the ass to get a nice left handed rifle. http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/left-Hand/
The vsf's are nice. I gave up for a heavy weighted stainless so I got the vsf and am getting it kg coated tan to match the stalk and protect the action/barrell. I snagged THE last one in canada and talked to remington military distributor today. They are phasing out the left handed stuff. So you better get on it, and a better question which I am facing is a nice one piece base with taper for left handed actions!
Good luck!

Are you saying you got the last LH-VSF in Canada??? I was at Russels here in Calgary the other day and they have a pile of 'em! I own two of them that I re barrelled to a 6mm Rem and a 6BR. I find it a joke that gun makers don't make all models in LH, as I can get any model of bow in LH!
Yes last one in canada. They are not bringing them in anymore. Not enough market for them in general neverming left handed. I got it right from the distributor here in 308
Edit: Yeah I hear you. The gun manifacturers are a joke, and dont get me started on bases for left handed actions......

To expand on the whole lefty / righty thing:
When you have the butt into your left shoulder, you're practically looking into the chamber of a right handed bolt gun when you open the bolt, as it ejects to the right. Same with the AR-15, if you are familiar, most people (righties) have to cant the rifle to check the chamber. Lefties don't. This is a huge advantage to a lefty. Remington VSs have fixed magazines, so you have to load the mag from the top, past the opened bolt. This can be a pain, especially so if you have a scope mounted, and even tighter still, if you use a one piece base. If you combine the above with sausage fingers like mine, you are virtually hooped.
The bonus of the right hand ejection if you are a lefty, is you can actually see what you are doing, without craining your neck around the action, or climbing the stock too much.

Yeah that is true but working the bolt is a pain. I have using right handed bolt action and they are a pain for me. I am hopelessly left handed. Maby savages single shot left handed right eject thingy would be just the ticket. I tried to suppord local bussiness but he is right royaly bussy so badger ordanance here I come. If you are set on a remington and want a 308 with a 26 inch barrell just like I did. Then it cut out savage. I never knew the vs was available in left handed...... Nor could I find one at least here. Remington doesnt list them on their site anymore. Good luck on your quest, and you gotta post some pictures!
We need a southpaw section of everything south paw with guns, accessories, and even left handed powder funnels in it! (referance guide)

Or maybe just hopeless? Seriously I am as left handed as anyone and have NEVER owned a left handed gun. With a bit of practice you can operate any right handed firearm with little difficulty. Left handed guns are a huge PIA and have next to no resale value cause nobody wants them.
It is a right handed world. Learn to live with it, adapt and overcome.
No never. I shot right handed bolt actions, and its so funny off of the hip like some sort of goon. Its not a right handed world and thats what people need to learn. The human race isnt ment to be dominantly right or left handed....... I will machine and match. The rifles I buy I intend to have for life such as my 308 so I could care less. Its centimental value? haha. When I try and shoot right handed with my right eye I cant handle heavy calibers. I swear I would cookie cutter myself.
