Home Forums Hunting & Shooting The Lefty Forum LH Ruger Hawkeye

Same problem in reverse. Lots of LH Tikka models are available in Canada that we can't get. But the hoops to get through to import one aren't worth it

I've been looking for one of the lefty 300 RCMs for a while now. A guy was selling one with hundreds of rounds of ammo that I should have bought at the time.

The interesting thing about the Ruger 300 and 338 RCM's are the rifles themself. Both came with factory iron sights, shorter 20 inch barrels, and the LOP is 13 inches (slightly less than than standard 13.5). They are a really nice, easy to handle "woods" rifle that is capable of killing anything in North America.

You're making me even more jealous. Sounds like a couple really great rifles.

Yes are are amazing at least for me in fit and about the perfect weight and length. My Ruger 338RCM compact rifle is by far the finest hunting rifle I own in terms of form, size, and function. My only hate on it is I wish the 338RCM was a popular cartridge

I have a left hand Ruger Hawkeye in 30-06 with a gray laminated stock and silver finish Leupold Vari-X III scope. Bought it to replace the left hand Remington 700 LSS in .300 Win Mag that I sold because the recoil was causing me neck pain. I actually wish I’d kept the Remington and bought the Hawkeye too.

I haven't been on the 'fire for quite some time, being a lefty I like to check this sub forum!👍👍😎

Glad to hear about the above mentioned LH .450BM source/Randy's in Bad Axe, MI. . I have a project AR in that caliber, I ambi'ed the lower (safety/mag release) and did a ambi charging handle on the upper. Still not complete but looking forward to seeing how 'thumping' that unit will be!??

I'd like to aquire a nice LH .450 BM Ruger SS laminate heavy barrel to have a bit more accuracy/reach out than the AR. I am aware the .450 BM falls off hard after 150 yards but since I have a supply of Hornady ammo it would be nice to have a more accurate LH bolt rifle.

I wish I could find a 416 Ruger.

I know it’s more work but if really wanting a .416 Ruger. Get a right handed .416 Ruger, which are easier to find and a left hand .375 Ruger. Have a gunsmith do a barrel swap on the two guns. Sell the right handed .375 Ruger.

And I wish I'd known about that at the time. grrr

Same here.

My LH Ruger RAR, compact in Full size LH stock, 223 1-8 twist SS Athlon 2x12
LH Tikka 223 1-10 Red Black B&C stock Athlon 2x12 scope (very tough to find LH Tikka 223)
LH AR 5.56 16" upper Athlon 2x12 X 42

Here is your .416- not mine, just noticed it before seeing this. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1033389320

I don't need it, the stock kinda sucks, but that's a cool gun. Never saw that configuration anywhere else.

I agree, hate those stocks. I've seen a few of them in .416 like this, but they don't come up often. If I had extra funds right now, I'd be tempted to get it and put a Boyds stock on it to keep the overall cost reasonable, but have it look much better

Stock will break unless it's bedded! The loose fit and a not-always-tight front action screw is a bad combo leading to a broken stock on the heavy kickers in the Ruger 77,s.
