From their 2015 catalogue, it looks like Remington will be offering actions as parts including LH stainless short actions. No part numbers just RRP prices listed for the lefty options.
Anyone have any more info?

I saw the same thing. I also checked their website and it has not been updated. They might be waiting till the SHOT show starts.

Anyone have any more info? And we Lefties get the privilege of paying a $200 premium for being in our right minds... $500 RRP for LH vs $300 RRP for RH... By the time you spend the extra $$$'s to have a smith true one up, you're knocking on the door of an MRC or a Stiller... Not interested...

I also looked at their website and didn't see anything listed.
I am interested however...
I'd really enjoy having a LH SS SA 700. The Remington 700's are my favorite actions, nothing else comes close.
I use a local smith (Mel Doyle) who does great work very reasonably.
And after my recent factory 700 .280 mountain barrel (takeoff) acquisition, I'm a believer in takeoffs and their potential accuracy. They don't all drive tacks, but mine sure does.
Like to get my hands on a .308 or .7mm-08 mtn. takeoff on a SS action...order up an edge or Brown's stock. The takeoff would ease the pain of the cost of the build.
I've been very critical of big green over the years for their lack of love for the lefty. It's about damn time.
Would be a hoot to finally put one together.

The price premium is definitely disappointing. Being a lefty sure is more costly but I guess I should be happy to have this as an option.

Met with a rep at SHOT yesterday.... Yes, there will be long and short actions available in LH, but they didn't know if they would even be available in 2015.
Edit to add, SS actions
