Left Hand Browning T-Bolts in 22LR, 17 HMR & 22 Mag are also Shot Show specials. They are not shown in the 2020 catalog. I suspect we will see very limited availability of them so if you have one on your mind, don't dilly dally.

How does Browning heavy sporter contour compare to Ruger American Predator?

Did they ever change it so brass was ejected on the left side?
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Why can't Browning make a dang left hand composite? A lot of good caliber options but not one in a synthetic.
I talked to a guy today who's company will begin making composite stocks for the Browning X Bolt. I told him LH models are important and he agreed. www.iotaoutdoors.comHe is also the President of Horizon rifles. They will make you about anything you want in a LH model.

Anything lefty news from Christensen Arms?
Updated caliber offerings?
We will see some new calibers from CA this summer. I anticipate some long action calibers and some magnum calibers. They would not be more specific.

How does Browning heavy sporter contour compare to Ruger American Predator? I didn't really look at it enough to be able to say. Best to call each manufacturer and get some measurements.

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.
Great news.

Does anyone know if the left hand tikka t1 ever came out overseas?
And I just got an email from Manners stating they have no plans of making the ultra classic in left hand

I was unaware the T1x was offered in a LH configuration in Finland.

Company is located here in Texas- he was most helpful on the phone and has a wealth of knowledge. I think he is also the one to thank for really bringing the 22CM to market-- he and his guys probably have more experience than most others combined with that cartridge. Great news on CA bringing some lefty options to the table-- but might delay some plans I've had.... Lastly- with this Tikka build option-- any idea if Sako will have a similar set up?? I like what I see with the Sako 85 Hunter- LH, and online there is an option for iron sights as well but I can't seem to find it offered anywhere in the US of A.

I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

According to what I'm told, the Sako set up is already up and running. You might give it a practice run to see if it's live.
