Anyone seen any new LH released? I did see a Christensen seemed to add sitka camo pattern stocks to their LH line

I also saw Anderson Arms plans on releasing a new LH version of their new cerbat rifle later this year.

I have no idea when they will be available in the states but the Tikka selector shows left hand options in 6.5 prc

And it looks like the left hand sitka edition ridgeline in 6.5 prc has an 18inch barrel which kinda intrigues me for running suppressed

I hope there’s more in the next few months. All I’ve noticed is what LH rifles were lost. That’s probably a bigger list than what’s coming out.

We lost Remington, CZ USA, Nesika And Dakota. Ruger didn’t come out with anything and neither did Browning, Sako, Styer, Cooper, Stag, Rock River, Anschutz, Lithgow or Weatherby. Savage didn’t either, but they get credit for their straight pull that’s reversible.

I saw this. It's in a sort of "target" configuration and seems a bit heavy. Nothing against that but am wondering, since they are tooled up for it, why not a T3X light stainless in 6.5PRC?

That could be pretty cool. I really wish these manufacturers would make a precision style rifle like that, but one that doesnt weigh 12 lbs. If this cerbat comes in anywhere near 7lbs I will probably buy it

Dakota is rebranded as Parkwest Arms with a major price hike. Have seen a few LH on Gunbroker.

Cooper is out completely for a while after their buyout. Appears the single shot bolt actions are history, unless they get reintroduced. Repeaters are still cataloged but guessing they will get a price hike by Nighthawk

I wish Howa would make their 1500 line in a left hand version.

Looks like STAG arms is coming out with a bolt gun. In the video I saw, it looked like one rep was holding a right hand version and the other rep holding a LH.

+1.

I'd like to see some of the left hand Tikka CTR in 6.5 PRC in stock. Got tired of waiting, so went ahead and had one built.

I'd also like to see the 7PRC offered in LH Tikka.

I’d buy a waypoint.


I get it, beans counters wanna make money.

Least make like 2 runs a year. Least i could say i had a chance at one. 😂😂

I saw my first Beretta BRX1 on GunBroker yesterday: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/968425214

So it's nice to see one finally make it to this side of the Atlantic. It's a switch-barrel straight-pull similar to a Blaser R93 / R8. The GunBroker listing shows photos of it in both LH & RH setup. Since it was projected to sell for less than $2k, I think the GB listing is asking a premium price hoping someone will pay extra because they're impatient. I'll find this rifle more interesting once the barrel selection expands to a dozen calibers. 308, 30-06 & 300 Win is too narrow at the moment.
Posted By: CarolinaPanther Re: 2023 LH rifles - 01/28/23
That is interesting. I have never owned a straight pull. This one looks visually pleasing vs the savage. Personally, I'm more excited about the reintroduction of the marlin 336 in 35 rem

I shot that rifle at the SHOT show. Once you get the movement down, it’s really fast.

They said to expect around $1600 MSRP.

Looks much like Blaser's R93/R8 but has limited barrel choices.

And at 1/2 the price. Sign me up for one.

With about 4 cartridge choices.

As a left-handed shooter, I try to like any LH rifle that comes onto the market since there's so few of them to choose from. So I hope the BRX1 is a success. The only problem I have with it at the moment is a lingering disappointment with Beretta's development of the ARX 100 semi auto. If you go to it's web page today it has printed The barrel is also easily replaceable in seconds, making is possible to use different lengths and calibers without any tools required. But in the 15 years since its release, the only caliber I've ever seen is 5.56/223. I'm still waiting for those different lengths & calibers to appear. Maybe I missed them after losing interest. Springfield Armory has made no similar claims about the future of the ambidextrous Hellion but I was kind of curious if another caliber might appear for it one day.

Originally Beretta said there were going to be four initial calibers for the BRX1. But since the very early postings, I've never heard about a 6.5CM being available leaving only the three .30 calibers to choose from. While I can't fault their initial selection (all of them are good rounds), I am kind of curious what their priority & choices on the next available calibers might be.
