Here are my four lightweight lefty rifles ranging from 6# 1.7oz to 7# 15.5oz.

[Linked Image]

From top to bottom.

ULA Model 20 in 6mm Rem. 24" tube and a 3-9x40 Elite Firefly in ULA/Talley LW's. 6# 9.3oz as pictured.

Remington 700KS in .270 Winchester. Early Brown stocked model. 24" tube and a ridiculously heavy Vortex Viper 4-16x44 HS LR in S&K's. 7# 15.5oz as pictured. This one is a bit on the porky side with the 20oz Viper on it.

Savage 116 in 6mm-284 Lapua. 24" 8 twist 5R rifled Rock #2 threaded nutless. EDGE stock. Numerous refinements throughout. Leupold 2.5-8x36 VX3 in S&K's.
IMO the finest lightweight Savage ever built.
Unfortunately it came in over my 7# goal at 7# 3.3oz as pictured. Looks like a 3-9x33 VX2 Ultralight and TLW's are destined for this rifle. These will take it to 7# even or very slightly lower.

Kimber of Oregon M84 in 6x47. 22" tube. Unknown stock, likely an MPI, that weighs 19.3oz. 3-9x33 VX2 Ultralight in TLW's.
6# 1.7oz as pictured.

These are my present lefty lightweights and I'm sorry to say that one of them has to go to help pay to tool up my vertical mill. Willing to entertain offers on any of them. For the Kimber and the KS the offers will have to be spectacular however.

Let's here some offers.
I'm motivated so fire away.

Scopes may or may not be included per your preference.

Have never shot the Savage nor the ULA but the reports from the previous owner claimed the ULA to be a really fantastic shooter. I do know the ULA has one spectacular trigger.
I expect the Savage will shoot lights out as well since it is built with quality components and chambered and fitted by Earl Hickman of Hickman Rifles in CO Springs CO.
This ain't close to your run of the mill Savage.

The KS and the Kimber are both great shooters and the Kimber is the finest handling lightweight rifle I've ever felt. It fits and points like a dream.
The KS just simply rocks in every aspect.

Willing to listen to any offers.

If I had the cabbage, I'd be scooping that ULA.

Nice collection to choose from though, any of the four would be nice to have.

Bob, the fugly .260 is already gone to Alaska. Sold it to fund the ULA purchase.

Kenneth, PM sent.

Everyone else, all PM's responded to.

Thanks guys, have to move one of these.

I had Ken's 700 KS .270 for a couple of years and it was one of the finest shooting rifles I've ever owned. I was blessed to kill some great animals with that gun.

Bump for one helluva rifle...

Thanks Broomd! Like I said in the OP though the price on the KS is rather high.

OK, starting point prices are as follows.

ULA $1850

Kimber $1800 As can be ascertained by the price this is the rifle I'd least like to sell. Try finding another LH KoO factory chambered for the 6x47. Hell, try to find a sweet synthetic stock for one.

Savage $1200 This is most assuredly not your run-of-the-mill Savage! Even my gunsmith, Earl Hickman was impressed with every aspect of this rifle and he isn't normally a fan of Savages. He even has asked if he could copy the machined bolt assembly screw.

KS $1300 Utterly stupendous rifle and I'll kick myself if this is the one to go.

I will not, repeat not, be offended by offers of any size even though I may reject them.
I need to tool up my mill and I need the cheddar.

Whatever pics you desire will be happily provided.

nsaqam is one of the good guys here. He has went out of his way to to help make my transaction with him go smoothly. If I were interested in another rifle right now, I would buy without a worry.

Done deal guys, the remaining rifles are no longer on the block.

Thanks a ton for the kind words and take care.
