Now that Ruger has dropped the stainless left-hand rifles, who makes a left-hand stainless rifle besides Tikka and Savage? Seems that Remington dropped the XCR also.

I hadn't heard Ruger dropped them - I bought 2 LH SS Hawkeyes a couple months ago. I bet there are still a few out there.

The last time I looked at the Browning website, they still made LH stainless rifles. I have three LH A-bolt stainless stalkers.

I hadn't heard Ruger dropped them. Neither had I. That sure is annoying.

Browning, Tikka, Savage. Were it me, I'd get a Tikka, with the Savage a second choice.
Exquisitely turdlike in all of his many manifestations!!

Look for a used Model 70, they were made for a few years. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/jbmich/338mcm.jpg)

I would buy a MRC SS action and have it barreled into the caliber I wanted and drop it into a McMillan stock.
Owned a couple of the W70's before and found them to be very heavy, not accurate, and one even had to have the chamber recut. Not one of Winchesters best products.
But there are plenty of Rugers floating around. My dealer ordered me a couple of Rugers in 300 Win Mag in the laminated stocks to use for future projects for under $500 each about 6 weeks ago.

My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Here's even a rarer one, Browning has told me the run on this gun/caliber/BOSS was less than 25. It's a 7mm08 and one of the most accurate rifles I own. It's scary how accurate this thing is. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/jbmich/LHBrowing.jpg)
