if im not mistakin theres fewer left handed rifles than there it right handed rifles. i can understand theres more right handed people, but two days ago i was going to go buy a new rifle and i went up to the place and i asked for it in a left handed bolt and they said that kind didnt come in a left handed bolt so i was wondering if i could get that rifle special order in a left handed bolt.thanks,Josh

i have been looking for a lite sporter rifle in left hand with stainless barrel and walnut stock in .223 rem but nobody makes them.I really like the sako's and remington's.
Tikka made them but have stopped now.

You may want to try Savage, I bought a model 112FVSS in a left handed and am VERY happy with it. I think they are a WAY under rated weapon. The one I bought has a button rifled,26 in., heavy SS fluted barrel, dual pillar bedded...in a 300 Win Mag. Just make sure if you go for a magnum you get a 26 in. barrel NOT a 24. Savage was making some of theirs in 2003 with a 24 in. but I think they have realized their mistake and corrected it since. I found a 2002 model 26 in. from a place out of Ohio...(Savage gave me their name) sorry, I forgot it) ..told me they sold the last lefties to them (of that model I wanted)...I DID NOT want that new Accutrigger on the 2003 models...but if you have to get that one you can get a replacment for about 80 bucks if you don't like it. Hope this gets to you in time...For $380.00 (what I paid) I don't think it can be beat ! Its a tack driver ! Just make sure you buy a GOOD scope..don't scrimp there...I got the Burris Fullfield 2 Illuminated Balistic plex.....for 375..can't get much better for the buck...

Try a different make or model. Most manufacturers have a very limited selection of left-hand models, if they offer any at all.
