Anyone using a BAR lefty?

I have a left hand Shot Show special 30-06 in full factory camo. It shots good enough for general 100 yard deer hunting. Never shot it further than that. Feeds very well.

I've got BAR's(8) earlier models MKI, so they are right handed . I'm lefty why anyone would need a "lefty" in an auto loader I wouldn't understand .


plab

I have seen an 1100 grenade on the skeet field. My buddy shooting it was right handed and needed stitches on his left hand between his middle and first finger. A left handed shooter would have gotten a face full of metal. After that I started buying left handed shotguns, 1187s and 870s. I still shoot right handed semis, including a right handed BAR but I can understand those who won’t shoot right handed firearms lefty.

had several RH BARS never had an issue

First and last 30.06 RH BAR several years ago, it couldn’t do better than 3” 3 shot group, factory and hand loads. Removed and replaced scope, bases, fired clean, dirty, nothing helped. Concluded it was either a dependable 1 shot rifle or trade it off, I decided to trade it off.

BAR's and I go back to the early 70's....had one on my first trip to Wyoming made a over 600 yard shot on a nice pronghorn also a 200 yard shot on a 8x6 mule deer....shot both with some Sierra 150 gr handloads....
