Home Forums Hunting & Shooting The Lefty Forum WTB LH 25-06

Looking for an unmolested 25-06 left hand. (Remington, Browning, Tikka) walnut stock preferred.

Not for sale... just want to show it off a little!...





Sako AV LH

Ignore the room... the wife does!

Good luck in your quest to find one! The 25-06 is my favorite caliber, next to .22!

That's slick. I like that

I’m pretty sure Remington, Browning and Tikka never produced any 25.06 cal. rifles in Left hand…🤔🤷‍♂️

Ruger made a few in both walnut and pepper laminate….unfortunately, they put a heavy contour sporter barrel on it instead of their standard 24” sporter(which is plenty stout and perfect for the caliber).🥴🙁
If they had used the same contour they used on their M77MKII 7mm Rem Mag(24” standard sporter) I’d have purchased 2, one in walnut and one in pepper.

I will never understand why the bean counters at these companies can’t just put the bolt on the left side….leave everything else the same. We don’t need some fancied up, shiny, new rendition. Just give us something different than the 4 standard LH calibers(270, 30.06, 7mm Rem, 300 Win)…

Savage did it….only problem with Savage is, THEY UGLY!😁

To the OP, whenever I find a pair of LH .25-06's, I'll send you a PM letting you know which one I didn't buy.


They do this to taunt me. It's personal...


I think you can add .257 Roberts, .300 H&H Magnum & .35 Whelen to that list. If it's a classic that I have an unexplainable attraction to, then I can't have it. I let a LH Sako .25-06 slip through my fingers years ago & it has haunted me ever since.


These are about the only LH .25-06's I rarely see that I keep passing on. It sucks to shoot left-handed (I'm right-handed) AND be picky about what you want. I do have some options. Unfortunately, I don't like any of them.

If I could find antelopedundee's rifle above & skeen's favorite hunting hat from the recent Deer Hunting thread, I would be the most stylish hunter in the woods. This would be an awesome combo if I wanted to be the talk of my hunting camp!

I don't understand that mentality either since they were already making all of the components for the right hand line. How effen hard would it be to just grab a .25-06 barrel or .280 Rem barrel and screw it into a LH action? If nothing else offer itas special order of some type. They did charge $20 or $25 extra for the LH. More than likely it didn't fit with their mass marketing scheme.

I have a lefty 25/06 Savage with a detachable magazine.
It has a replacement barrel without the barrel nut.
I bought it used about 15 years ago and know nothing about the barrel or who installed it.
But it does shoot pretty well with 115 gr handloads.
Rebarreling a Savage action would be an easy solution.
Also a Remington action today can be done using the same technique, and possibly others as well.

Remington did make a LH bdl in the 25-06 for a short period. (I think it was in the 70's) I'm not 100 percent sure on the Tikka, but Browning does make a LH 25-06 in the x-bolt.

Going to Shaw Custom Barrels website & building a .25-06 off of a LH Savage action is always an affordable option I have available to me:

I really have everything that I need. So I'm just being really picky & selective about what goes into the last few available slots in my gun safe. It gives me an excuse to look at everything that's available and play "what if".

browning definitely makes lefties in 25-06, because I own one - a-bolt stainless stalker…
