Good left hand rifle in a long range caliber.

[sport22]

Hi fellow hunters.
This question comes from the other side of the atlantic (try making such a long shot)
Id like to buy a LR rifle, and I am looking towards Weatherbys line of guns since I am left handed shooter. I like their new Treat Response rifle, not sure if it comes in left hand though, and also the accumark in 30-378.
My question is, what other manufacturers make a standard left hand rifle in a LR caliber? Id like to buy the gun factory made.
Thanks! Emil, Sweden.

Hello Oneshot

I would look at the Remington Sendaro in the 300 Ultra mag. It's right there with the 30/378 as far as ballistics go and it is on a factory Remington Mag action.

I'm not sure but, I think they make a left hand model.

Check the website for Remington Arms.

Remington doesn't make the Sendero left-handed.

Here are your left-hand Remington options with heavier barrels:

Remington 700 VS
Remington 40X

Savage makes Savage their 10, 110, 12, 112 series varmint and law enforcement rifles in LH with varmint weight barrels.

I ended up building a custom Rem700 LH 30-06 and buying a Rem 700 VS LH in .308

Good Luck! MM

You may want to check out Ed Brown and H.S. Precision. Both are now available LH.
Good Luck

Oneshot, I have a Mark V Accumark that is very accurate. They come with a 26" Krieger barrel.

Littlestoes, what caliber is your Mark V?
Thanks for great replies at this great forum!

Its a 300 Weatherby, OneShot. Mounted a Leupold 3.5-10X40mm M1 LR. Not quite powerful enough for 1000 yards, I think, but very nice! littletoes.

OneShot-ever seen the Schmidt & Bender Mk II 3-12X50? Sealed for extreme conditions,large windage and elevation drums. Hear its just under 1800$ American.

 

[sport22]

No I havent seen it Littletoes!
Is it pretty?
I am thinking of buying a Leupold scope long range scope. Something like 6,5-20 X 50.
As for myself I am still looking for that good left hand rifle in a long range caliber....
Thanks for all the great replies I have gotten. Just havent found THE ONE rifle yet.

Hey OneShot, think I would e-mail Darryl Cassel about a custom rig. If you are truly serious about 1000 yards and beyond, I don't think you would be satisfied with what rifle manufactures out there have to offer. The Weatherby is going to cost you at least 1200 bucks, and don't get me wrong-I love mine! but i have always wanted a rifle with at least a 29 inch barrel. The 30-378 and the 338-378 are awsome rounds, but there full potential can't be had out of a 26" barrel. I don't know much about the 338 Lapua, but I hear it was made to reach the big Weatherby velocities without the belt. I understand reaching gunsmiths in your area that can do this work may be hard to find, but am shure Darryl can hook you up. littletoes.
