A spectacular group of 11 left-hand Winchester Custom Shop Model 70 rifles, complete with consecutive serial numbers and controlled-round-feeding actions, has just become available for purchase. Calibers are: .243 Winchester, .25-06 Remington, .270 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm STW, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Magnum, .338 Winchester Magnum, .35 Whelen, .375 H&H Magnum, and .416 Remington Magnum.

Based on receivers taken from the original prototype run of 40 left-hand actions (ten were built as test rifles and subsequently destroyed, 11 were used for this group, and almost all the rest were returned to production), each was hand-built by the USRAC Senior Design Engineer responsible for the Model 70 program in the 1990s. Himself a lefty, he created these rifles for his own use, yet never took them afield. All remain in unfired condition with only light handling and storage wear.
