If anyone has a line on one please let me know. It looks like they dropped 223 from their line. Thanks

Been very tough to find for a while now and if you get one magazines are very problematic, AICS mags will not adapt. But it is LH and 1 in 8 twist. I bought a couple when CDNN had them available quite a while back.
If Ruger has a LH rifle in stock you better buy it cause they will probably quit making it.

The Savage Axis is avalable as a LH in 223. Has a 1-9'' twist barrel and I'm told they are accurate.

The rotary mag that came with my left hand .22-250 wouldn't feed properly, especially in warm weather. The taper in a .22-250 was enough for the cartridges to stand straight u in the mag. Ruger sent me a free replacement and it did the same. I found out that the mag for the .450 Bushmaster would work and it does, but it hangs down under the stock exactly where I like to hold the rifle as I walk. Finally, Ruger made a short action stagger feed mag that works perfectly even with .22-250 cases. I am finally happy. So far the rotary mags work correctly in our 6.5 Creedmoors and .308s.

Had to buy about 5 mags and rework 3 to get ones that are reliable.
