Before you launch into me hear me out: Why are there no 5 3/4 lb left handed bolt guns? I know weatherby offers the backcountry TI in lefty, but they are only available in the Weatherby cartridges (which goes to the 9 lug action which takes it to 6lbs) plus it has a 26" barrel.
If Kimber would make ANY of their rifles left handed, I would buy one immediately. I have been searching for a rifle with 20-22" barrel, lefty, that weighs sub 6lbs naked in the <$1500 range. The only gun that meets that criteria so far is the savage axis lefty in 350 legend. The savage is a good rifle don't get me wrong, but there is something in me that wont let me enjoy the "bargain rifles" but so much.
I am aware that Melvin will make me a model 20 in whatever I want and meet that criteria. I just don't have the patience to wait for a year or more to get it (plus its $4000).
So I guess my question is this: Kimber, why won't you make any of your rifles left handed? Remington, make a model seven in left handed? Savage, make the 110 ultralight or the lightweight hunter in left handed?
Are their rifles out there that I have overlooked that I don't know about?
I hear you. My lesson in lightweights came courtesy of the Fieldcraft, which I bought and shot on the left side. The piece taught me the meaning of "too much of a good thing". It's just too light. I sold it on the 'Fire and bought a Tikka, which is pretty close to perfection. Lesson learned, I hope.
