    Collecting Left Hand Rifles

    I am left handed and proud. I have been collecting left-hand rifles for years. I have recently focused on Left-hand Kimber rifles made in Oregon. So far I have five (one is pending DROS). Is anyone else collecting left-hand guns (still lusting after a left-hand Randall)? I will post pictures soon.

      I only buy LH rifles when the standard rifle can't be used left handed.

          I am left handed and I have bought a couple of Remington 700 rifles in both left and right handed versions. I prefer the left handed model, and it is my main hunting rifle. I also built a walking varmint rifle using a Stiller Predator left handed action. I also bought Remington 870 shotguns in both left and right handed versions. I preferred the right handed version, and gave the left handed one to my brother, who is also left handed. I also shoot in smallbore competitions and have had both left handed and right handed actions; I clearly prefer the left handed action over the right handed action.

              All my bolt rifles are left bolt. About 50:50 on the left port vs. right port.

              I don't call myself a collector by any means. But, since I don't shoot nearly as much as I want, I think I'm inadvertently becoming one

                As a lefty, I rarely see left handed rifles available at local gun shops. In fact, I believe they are a myth like Big Foot.

                  I allways see a Browning or a Savage.

                  Savage is probably the biggest maker of lefty rifles.

                    not sure where your located, but Stockade and Fowlers both stock a few left handed bolt actions.
                    Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
                    I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

                      A friend of mine has a left handed Randall, new, unfired with 3 or 4 spare LH magazines. The day he was going to take it to the range something else came up and he never took it out to shoot.

                        Ain't no such thing as a left-handed milsurp. I've learned to adapt over the last 50 years. Shooting a right-handed rifle left-handed isn't a BFD. Not even a LFD ( you figure it out). In fact no deal at all. I just shoot 'em and enjoy' em.

                            I have a Ruger Scout rifle and some CZ bolts in left hand. I'm ambi but left eye dominant.

                              As a lefty, i prefer right handed bolt guns. With my left hand on the trigger, I cycle the bolt with my right hand. It feels natural to me, but it's also all I know.
