I'm a southpaw shooter, have all Rem 700's, older ones other than the CDL .223
if I needed a lh rifle, Tikka would be what I'd buy.
got the oldest boy one on his 16th birthday.
can't begin to describe how impressed I am with it.
let him shoulder everything available in this town and was certainly prepared to shell out the coin for a Kimber which I thought he'd want
he liked the fit and feel of the action better on the Tikka, so that's what he got
chambered in boring old '06
they had a lh version of the same rifle at the LGS where we bought his for awhile and I gave serious consideration to buying one for myself, but then what would I do with my 7 mag and .338?
too many memories in both of those rifles to get rid of them
as others have stated, it's a heckuva value in a rifle in my view.
and I like the plastic mags, bought the boy 4 extra ones just in case.
hunting normally only carry two, one with 150 grainers for sheep or bou, one with 180 gr. for walking in and out with hopefully a bloody pack
if it fits you, I think you'd be happy with one.
