Ive messed with the RH versions and they seem to bee pretty nice. Not as light as i thought they would be though. At least they're trying to cater to the LH market. Might buy one in a couple years.

Or less

Rifles are 30-60 days from shipping to dealers. The guy i talked to said this will be a test run to feel out the market. If it goes well, more SA calibers and maybe even LA in the future. I’m liking the burnt bronze / green stock 6.5cm Dave �The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it.� Lou Holtz

However, would really prefer to handle one first to check ergos before committing. Anyone know of an LGS in the Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati area that has the RH models in stock that you can hold/handle ?

These are really well made. Fit and finish is top notch on the ones I've handled.

Price was well below MSRP too which was nice.

In the sticks where i am, galleryofguns.com is the easiest way to shop. Dave �The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it.� Lou Holtz

They said they could pre-order and seemed to know what they were talking about so I'm hoping they come through.
