Stopped into an area shop today and saw that the owner scored on a group of 5 left handed rifles. These are models from the 80's that were in a collection. Really some great wood and very little use. Just a heads up here as many post about the lack of left handed stuff.
Eventually these will end up on Gunbroker. I'll list them here and give you the phone number. Good luck.

Cool collection of iron. #1 & #5 could be shipped this way........
I never thought this place was thin on LH wares, I see plenty. My problem is the lack of cashola' to snag them.
Love to see some pics of those.

Couple of those have a "spoonbill" bolt. I think it is the Mannlichers. Most had older Leupold scopes too.

I agree. There has been an endless parade of great LH rifles lately and I'm getting bummed that I can't buy any of them right now.

The prices will be commensurate with the rarity of the piece. I'll throw out a number of $1500 going up and down from there. Don't hold me to it or start flaming. I posted them so as someone here could get a jump on the Gunbroker posting if they were so motivated.

Yes, I heard all 5 may have gone to 24HCF members. I thought it was a very nice private collection of LH's that needed a head's up. When you fellas get them, post a few pics here.

+1 on the pics. I've always had a keen interest in one of those full stock Sako's. Unfortunately the timing was wrong right now for buying one.
Looking forward to the reports on all of them!
