Ah, so it’s Barrett for “custom shop”, thank you. Hopefully they’re working on something with SAS in a brown stock with a red pad.

The Valkyrie might be a "one off" made up special for Federal.
Make sure that the production 223 micro action has a 7" twist barrel please.

Like maybe in a micro action? Where do I send my money and how soon can I get this? Can't say about when but you won't send money to a better place than Whittacker guns in Owensboro KY. Shortactionsmoker that's posting in this thread runs it.

I think there are several people waiting to see what Barrett has in the works. Any news from SHOT?

Like maybe in a micro action? Oh good. I wonder when they will make good on their two year old left hand promise? A new micro action, but no LH. Bummer. I can't imagine Barret would sell more 223s than LHs?
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

I can't imagine Barret would sell more 223s than LHs? I'd guess they will sell a lot more right handed .223's than they would all calibers combined on LH models. I wish they'd do left hand models as well since all 3 of my kids are left eye dominant but from a business standpoint I'm guessing they are making the smart $ move.

I'm sure Barret knows their business, while I'm just guessing and definitely biased. 😉 A FC costs ~$2450 up here. I'd buy a LH FC 223 in a heartbeat, but I do think the guys who'll drop that kinda money a 223 are few and far between.

That's my opinion as well. I'm left handed and I'd buy a right hand Barrett 223 long before I'd buy any sort of left hand Barrett.

I sure don't expect a company to design and manufacture a rifle which only 10% of the population will potentially buy, even if they are the whiniest 10% of the population.
No sense in whining about it, especially since a right handed gun works just fine for a lefty. Operating off a shot timer, I'm not enough faster with a left handed rifle to matter, and if the gun has a catastrophic failure, one is about as about as the other.

Maybe so,but I thought they promised left hand models. They never should have said a thing about it if it wasn't something in the works within a reasonable amount of time.

They make 1-9" 25-06.How about a 250-3000? Told them I'd pay for the reamer,no e-mail reply. Called Savage and they would gladly make a lightweight hunter in 250 special order.Now that's a custom shop.

Yes that's the problem here, they promised something and then went back on it. As for the 10% of the population being lefties (and I believe it's higher than that) Every gun manufacturer offers more than 10 different variations on a gun so it's not a stretch for each of them to offer one left hand model.
