4 calibers at the top of my "don't need or want" list.

Curious that the new titanium Left Hand offerings are all long action, magnum bolt face. And the same LA Magnums have also been added to the original Ridgeline offering. However, original short action standard bolt face chamberings are not offered in the titanium action...

True that, zero interest in any of those LH chamberings in Ti; wouldn't want one it it were given to me.

Weatherby, Remington, Winchester, CA..why can't any of these fools build a LH lightweight gun in SA or even LA non-magnum?? Who advises these companies?!
Shake my head.

Boggles the mind honestly.

I for one, could see myself having one in 300 PRC to replace my 338 wm. Tikka has some good left hand offerings of non magnums.

You're right about Tikka. It will also open up its website for the building and ordering of any rifle they make in 2021. Lead times will be long you will be able to get anything Tikka builds in Europe, sent to the US.

Not a big fan myself of the offerings (probably the only person, but would love one in 6.5prc). Still it’s nice to see more unique left hand offerings and hopefully it evolves into even more options in the future

Surprised they are still sticking 1-9T on the .284 options...

I guess their sales #s or formulas are telling them what direction to go. I gave up on Christensen bringing anything I want to the table and went with 2x Defiance anTi instead.

Just swapped a couple emails with CA. They already have sku's for Left Hand Titanium Ridgeline's chambered .243 and 6.5CM. Estimating end of year for availability.

Not sure about that model.

I ran into a CA rep a few weeks back, LGS had a sale.

She said they were making the Mesa and Ridgeline in lefty 6.5prc. Have been for a couple months.

Also added some long action lefties. I forget what calibers she said.

I can remember WAY back when Christensen Arms' thing was their carbon wrapped barrels...which were installed on various makers' actions. Can't remember if they were offering package rifles or not at that time.

I haven't ever done business with them, but seeing them carry on over the decades now makes me happy that they have done well enough to expand their business and even start offering niche LH rifles. Says a lot about how they have handled their business. And when you compare that to the current train wreck with Remington, hopefully they make note of some lessons and continue on with their success.

I am pretty heavy with 6.5mm rifles....a 5 - 5.5lb .243W might get me to break out the wallet. Hopefully they don't pull the same stunt as Barrett...list a bunch of LH rifles with future arrival dates and then never deliver.

No mention of 6.5PRC on either side.

Yes, 6.5 PRC appears to be offered in Left Hand non-titanium Mesa and Ridgeline.
