Yep. There's a few guys on here that have bought them. IIRC, only in 243. Whittakers has them listed as well:

They are not cataloged, but Ruger did a run for Davidsons last winter. Several calibers, in standard length as well as the compact models with short stock and barrel. The standard stocks fit the compact guns as well.

I have a standard length, left-hand, ss .308 and it is super light and handy. Unless the youth model has a shorter stock, I would just buy the standard one. Mine shoots real good, too.

Ken so Ruger did make a full size American in LH SS? What calibers and where are they. Would love a full size RA LH 7-08 SS.

Gunbroker.com has a few listed, they are about a hundred bucks more than the blued version on average.

KK, You are in luck. Looks like Davidsons has some of every model still.

Here is the complete list:

All stainless:

Compact (18" bbl, 12.5" LOP)
#6941 .243
#6942 7mm-08
6940 .308

Standard stainless (22" barrel, standard LOP)
#6933 22-250
#6935 .223
#6932 .243
#6930 .270 Win
#6934 7mm-08
#6929 30-06
#6931 .308

For the compact ones, you can put a standard length stock on it (that's what I did with my .243). It would work the other way as well, but Ruger does not offer the compact stock as a spare part (some of their parts people don't even know about this run of guns for Davidsons. They don't catalog a compact left hand American yet.

Maybe they were confused, but I was able to get a price for a LH compact stock from their customer service. IIRC it was $70. I had to give them the item # from Davidson's for the LH compact for them to find it. It was not in their regular parts inventory list.

That could be. When I ordered a standard LH stock in Feb., they said it was the only one available.

Really liking my LH RAR SS full size 7 08 load work up consisted of handloads that worked in other 7 08s all shot 1.5 inch or under.
