I know it's probably a few months early for new announcements for 2017, but has there been any rumors or news of anything new coming out for lefties?
Now that the AR craze should settle down quite a bit, and the fear of legislation happenings is smashed, CC handguns will probably take priority in most productions, but that should also free up some space for more sporting guns. Should be interesting to see how the market shifts for 2017.

Doc LH Montana Creed would be sweet...........It'd surely fill a gap between my 243Win, 260Rem and 7mm-08.

Ruger seems to be about the best company to have hope in. At least they are always bringing out new and even unannounced distributor runs, and many in LH.
They really need to expand the American line and fill everything with LH version as well. Can't really go wrong, with how it's been going so far.

Been requesting (begging?) Ruger bring out a LH rimfire bolt gun since they started their "Tell the CEO" web page. RAR or 77/22 would be fine with me. Not holding my breath

A LH RAR rimfire would get me to buy 2 for my two young sons!

I'd take a RAR in 6.5 CM but would really like a LH Tikka T3x in that chambering. Although now that I know a WSM magazine works in my Tikka .260 and allows another .07" OAL that sort of mitigates the need for the Creed.
Also have the LH rimfire rifles covered but a LH American .22 and .17HMR would probably be the biggest sellers for Ruger.

Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

If Whittakers could have Ruger build a special run of lefty RAR's in 6.5 Creed we all would be happy. I vote for Stainless.

Davidsons would be the place to contact. Going to Ruger would be pointless. The CEO was clueless in a discussion I had with him regarding some models a few years back, so I have quickly written off that option. Davidsons knows what will sell and they can make it happen. There is a dealer here who orders the Americans direct from Ruger in 450 Bushmaster, for Michigan deer hunters

that's a good point. Davidson's talks with the order book. Consumers talk as individuals with no promise of orders. I suspect Ruger, like most manufacturers, will build anything, within reason, provided there's a sufficient amount of orders to make it profitable.

I give up on Kimber. Now I'm just holding my breath for a SA SS version of that Barrett in 2017.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

I would like to see a LH 870 Wingmaster in 28 GA built on a 28 GA sized receiver with blue finish and not the matte they use today
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.
