I don't think the list is growing longer, that's for sure.

Savage's new straight-pull bolt can go lefty (though the ejection stays on the wrong side).

I don't think the list is growing longer, that's for sure. Especially with the unprecedented demand for RH guns. I’m sure most production is slanted that way.

Seeing a lot of "Bang for the Buck" offerings in Right hand. Wouldn't mind a Springfield Waypoint in LH. Cost me $3500 to build similar.
Nothing new from Bergara in LH? They have the actions and tooling. Was hoping for a B-14 Wilderness or similar "standard" hunting rifle.

It looks as though we may be saddled with finding used actions and building our own...

There are a few new Savages in their left-hand section.
Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!

Tikka has to get permission from Beretta USA in order to bring anything to the USA. That has proven to be problematic for them in the past.

Tikka dropped a few left hand models, but still are way more than Beretta will bring in.
They need to just assign a dealer the responsibility of special imports and Beretta can do the normal stuff.

Whish Tikka would import there LH 22. Only seen it advertised, never actually laid pecker tongues on one.
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

The LH 22 LR is scheduled for later this year, according to some guys at Beretta. I'm not betting any money on it.

Curious about the ergos as well. Really like the look of the Savage "Timberline" with the camo accu stock. However, not willing to pay $1,400 for a LH Savage to find out...

We own two Storms. A .223 lefty that’s sits beside the back door for coyotes and otters and other medium sized vermin. Fits me pretty good. Wife’s is a 7mm/08 she uses for deer hunting in bad weather. The adjustable LOP allowed us to tailor fit it to her. Both are accurate. Wife doesn’t like that the bolt needs to moved quickly to keep it feeding smooth. Other than that they were both a good buy for about $600 each two years or so ago.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I’ve been working with Beretta to order a Sako 85 that you can build through their website. It has taken 8 months for them to agree to the order. Said I have to pay the $2300 100% upfront and I might get the rifle by October 2022 with no guarantee by that time. They also said that they may never fill the order and at some point simply refund my money. It’s a stock rifle in Europe not a custom build. I said no thanks. I’ll keep looking for a Model 70 LH safari.
Love my Brownings and Tikka. Just bought my son a X-bolt.

Beretta is a good example why the Italians are 0 & 2 in world wars.

.... Love my Brownings and Tikka. Just bought my son a X-bolt. How do you and your son like the X-Bolt? I have never owned a Browning. However, the Left Hand versions seem to pop up regularly for reasonable prices in today's market.

I have a couple of X-Bolts and like them very much. I found a 223 & a 22-250 available for reasonable prices. Both have a decent twist, 1-9'' IIRC.
- 22-250 twist rate is 1-9''
- 223 Remington twist rate is 1-8''
