I'm not giving up hope but expect it won't happen until next year.

On one of the threads here there are people that are connected with Barrett and they mentioned that we can expect the LH rifles next year sometime. Time will tell............

I emailed them last night. They answered today.

"At this time we are only offering the right –hand. We have no definite ETA as of yet, but it will not be in 2018.

Thanks,
Lindsey Smith"

i'm borne and bred left-handed. don't have a single solitary left hand gun in the closet, all right hand turn bolts, semi-autos, and marlin lever guns. they all work.

no one can reasonably expect an organization (company) to not pick the low-hanging fruit on the tree. that is, if profits are rolling in, don't do anything to interrupt the flow. and in the case that rt-handed guns are selling like pancakes, why in the world to invest a single penny in left-handed stuff, and risk slowing down the rt-handed gun sales?

the answer is obvious. we believe what we want to believe mostly, but objective facts are difficult to refute. i'd love to have a left-handed kimber, but i understand it might not ever happen.

my two clearanced RAR's from wal-mart, a .243 and a .308 shoot lights out. it'll never be any cheaper for the accuracy level obtained out of the box. but, still i wouldn't mind owning a gun mfg'd in the south if the conditions ever get right.

and speaking of the south, bergara rifles are assembled pretty much just down the street from me in ne Georgia. i don't think they offer a left-handed version either, but i could be wrong on that, have never handled one. but, they do believe in the merits of timney triggers if i'm correct.

I emailed Bergera about lefty models. The guy that answered happened to be left handed he said. He told me it was in the works. He hoped sooner than later.

I figured as much. Make the product announcement, get hopes up, then backpedal.
At least Ruger brings things out unannounced sometimes, and I dont recall them not fulfilling a product announcement in a short timeframe

No surprise they made the backwards models first. Saves me money every time.

Why is it when I tell someone I'm going to deliver on something and then don't I'm lying, but when the gun industry does it it is good business practice? Laughing!

My favourite part is at 45 seconds.

Put a call in to Barrett this afternoon about the Fieldcraft in LH. Left a message with Gabby and waiting for a return call. Figure it can't hurt to keep the fire lit.

I just harassed them again via Facebook. Gotta keep the pressure up, otherwise we'll just keep hearing "Maybe next year..." from them.

You could of had both those Rugers in left hand but you opted for a clearance sale. Don't you think you are part of the problem why we don't have many left hand options. Not trying to insult you but it is what it is.

That's kind of a ridiculous statement. Someone settling for something other than what they want because they get a deal is not part of the problem. You're asking the consumer to adapt to the manufacturers wants and needs. If they'd make rifles that leftys actually want, they wouldn't have to clearance them out.

no worries mate. i'm not easily insulted, if at all. the two rugers i procured were gifted to a son and a son-in-law, both righties as the fates might have it. but my righty rems, british 303's, savages, & ruger mark II seem to perform ok, given my left-handedness.
walmart was clearancing the RAR's, and if i hadn't bought them, likely someone else would have?

anyways, Bergara is close by me, am hopeful for a lefty from them some day, as well as Barrett. both would be classed as good in my book.
