Being a southpaw, our options are limited and often short lived. If we miss out on the factory run of a rifle we may spend years looking for that "one" rifle we crave.

For me it's a Browning micro in 22 hornet. I know of at least 2 people here at the fire that have them and I blew an opportunity to own one of them, but the owner came to his senses before I could come up with the money. That won't happen again.

I've heard CZ made a LH hornet too but I've never actually seen one and I place it in the big foot/unicorn category until proven otherwise.

What's your Holy Grail?


They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

LH Kimber of Oregon M84 chambered for the .257 Kimber cartridge.

If I win the KoO M84 in .222 on GB I'll be thinking seriously about a rebarrel to .257 Kimber.

I'd then own the two most powerful LH KoO M84's ever produced. 6x47 and .257 Kimber.

For me it would be one of the G&H or Sedgley Springfields converted to left handed, especially one that had been converted with a little gear drive. I've seen a couple but they always went for way more than I could muster. Caliber doesn't really matter much but the more unusual the better.

My dream would be a pair of Dakotas. One would be a .257 Roberts and I would make an honest effort to shoot the barrel out of it. I'd probably knock over a few whitetails as well. The second would be a .300 Win Mag. When I finally get to make a trip to Africa, that is what I would love to be carrying.

A left hand double rifle.

Have no need for either any more.

Thanks. It was a bit of a headache getting the old model 70 into a new model 70 stock but I was able to make it come together. Someday I hope to get it stocked in a nice piece of English walnut or maybe have someone do a copy of the old super grade stock for it. It may just stay in this stock since it shoots so well. This is one of those rifles that will be with me till I'm to old to go anymore. I have it's big brother, the 400 Whelen on a new model 70 left hand. It will be sticking around as well. Now I need another lefty 70 to build a 38(375) Whelen on and I will be set up pretty well with Whelens.
