I'm headed over to the show this morning and will spend the better part of the next 3 days looking for LH rifles and shotguns. If there's something you want me to look for, pm me and I'll do my best to find it.
I'll try to report something newsworthy daily.

I'm really curious to find out what you see. Like usual, I have no real expectations of anyone coming out with a LH, quality, factory mountain rifle, but you never know.

Big Thanks.....I don't hear of ANY new Lefties 2020. Was hoping Bergara would offer LH Sporters but don't see any in 2020 catalog. Any new McMillan patterns that will be inlet for LH would be great.
Please God, give me some good tags this year....

I’m always hopeful that someone such as Winchester, Kimber or Barrett will announce left handed models but I am not holding my breath.

According to the guys in the Bergara booth, the HMR is the only LH offering available "right now". I was led to believe there will be other models available, going forward but that's a real subjective time frame.

Browning has a pretty good lineup of LH hunter models, beginning with the 223 in a 1-9 twist. I have not seen the SHOT Show specials but was told they are on the website.
The best news I got today was that the "Select you Tikka" website will go live within a few months. According to the guys in the Beretta booth, if the model you want is made in Finland, you can get it here, through your local Sako select dealer. I think this is a brilliant move that will allow left hand shooters a chance to get a rifle they want and not be held captive by what Beretta USA brings in.

Why can't Browning make a dang left hand composite? A lot of good caliber options but not one in a synthetic.

Ken, I was told it was being tested but it sounds like it may be further along than what they said. Thanks for the update.
