If Cooper does, it will be their first LH composite to be made. They told me a year ago they were starting in house manufacturing on composite stocks and would include all current composite models in LH. They told me they would have those out by summer, and said I could order. Good thing I didnt because I have yet to see any sign of a LH composite Cooper.

I would never buy another Kimber after trying two different Montanas in .308 for my wife. Neither of them would shoot very good and one had feeding issues. So they can stuff it even if they make a lefty.
Winchester is just as bad. Their refusal to make any more lefty 70's sucks.
Even Savage is starting to forget about us. They offer fewer left hand models than they did 5 years ago.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Good reason to support Montana Rifle Company. I have some personal issues with their products (for the price) but even with that I have to say they make a decent rifle. And they make their left handers in a plethora of calibers. Same with Tikka. You can get a bunch of different chamberings in LH, although whoever dreams up the twist rates on some of them certainly doesn't read the 'fire.

... LH Montana Creed would be sweet.... A Left Hand Kimber Montana "anything" would be nice... That could get my cc out. I've called Kimber asking for a LH Montana more times than I have fingers. A Creed would be a nice payback.

The SHOT show could be interesting. But not expecting too much, because there has been no hints of anything promising.
Side note: The Ruger American 450 Bushmaster Ranch rifle will be available in left hand sometime this month through the exclusive Michigan dealer. Not sure if Ruger or Davidsons will bring out a lefty when the regular RH model hits the shelves. The right hand model is on the Ruger site now. I know it's not really exciting, but it is really catching on in states with restricted deer rifle laws. A guy shot a doe with one at 365 yards here the other day. Trajectory is like a damn football, but most people are using CDS or similar scopes.

Sounds like he could use grid coordinates and call in a fire mission...

I lost my patience years ago with waiting around for gun companies to make anything interesting for a lefty.

I am appreciating Remington putting out reasonably priced stainless lefty actions periodically now.

Remington was trumped by Barrett, who was the big winner at SHOT for us lefties, in my estimation.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

Ruger is out with the LH 416 ruger in the African.

The dealer in Michigan (Randys) that had the Ruger Americans in .450BM made will have some left hand models available tomorrow morning, first come first served. They are the 16" threaded barrel models. Thought about picking one up but just built up an AR in .450BM.
