I think a grand solution would for Beretta/Tikka and Ruger to do a direct pre-order type of program. They could offer specific runs for lefties and this way there's no overruns in a pre-order=pre-sale program.
The beauty of that model is they'd know exactly how many they need ahead of time and they wouldn't sit around.
Hey beretta, hey ruger are you paying attention? They probably don't care.
