maybe one optimum solution would be to create a mixed bag of LH blue and SS rifles. probably too expensive to consider, but a variety of options, and let the buyers pick & choose.
i'd like to have a 6.5 creed, 7mm-08, or even a .308 or lastly a .223. they'd all work. choice is a wonderful thing.

You would think Beretta would understand there's at least some interest in the Tikka's that they don't import, and just bring in a couple shipments to an online retailer in the US. They could even charge another $100 premium and they would all still sell.

They all seem to miss the obvious...........at least to us port siders. Why does Ruger refuse to make a lefty rimfire?

If we're making requests getting Beretta to import some left hand 9.3x62 Tikkas would be high on my buy list. Zastava makes a nice 9.3x62 in left hand. Commercial mauser action for under $800 CAD. Don't own one...yet. I do! And several other members here and on Accurate Reloading also were on the group buy that went through a couple of years ago. Wonderful CRF mauser actions. I do not care for the European style humpback stock, but that could always be changed as a small cost of getting a modest-priced real mauser forged steel action that you could shoot right away. Norm

Add me to the list waiting for a T3x in 7mm-08. I'd take a Creed if I had to but much prefer a 7mm-08.

Any updates?
PS: Whitaker’s has excellent prices on LH T3x’s, just placed an order for a stainless lite in .270.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I'll ask for a response again this week. I put several rifles on the list that don't import, both left and right handed. I offered a commitment minimum of 500 rifles. I'd think that should get it done...

Did they just quit offering any SS T3x lefty’s? Or did their website have a stroke?

I am in need of a lightweight left hand 7mm-08 or 6.5 Creed for my daughter-in-law and I believe the Tikka lite or superlite stainless would be perfect. The rifle needs to be 6 lb or less.
I will follow this thread for future development.

Do you need a repeater? If not, the T/C Encore is extremely lightweight.

She shot her first deer this year with my son's rifle, a right handed Ruger 270 tanger, and he said that the weight was an issue with her holding the rifle up. She liked the experience so much that it appears we will have a new hunter in the family. Teaching her to use a rest is a good option also and may just be the best solution. Thanks for the suggestion.
