Lefthand Rifles

[THE PILGRIM]

Let’s see those LH rifles!
When I gave up hunting and sold most of my rifles,
This is the one I kept.
So There must be some more Lefties out there.
Let’s see some LH Rifles.
Maybe Shotguns?

I'm left handed. As close as I've come to a left handed gun is ambi safties on ARs and 1911's, Side by side and over and under shotguns, model 37 Ithacas, and 99 Savage rifles, as well as other lever actions.

I can fire a traditional bolt rifle as well as most right handed folks, and a left handed bolt would be foreign to me.

I have an old Ruger M77 30-06.

Both my 870 pump and my 30-06 bolt action are lefties. I’m right handed but have always shot lefty due to left eye dominance. That’s a big reason I gravitate to revolvers. After the holidays would be soonest for pics...

I'm right handed but shoot long guns left handed. Most of my rifles and all of my shotguns are right handed models. Don't have any real problems shooting them left handed. I do have two LH rifles and love them both. First one is a Remington 700 BDL in .30-06, bought new in 1985. Second one is a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in .270 WSM, bought new in 2006.

Here is an old pic of my left handed Stag with Midwest Industries rail, Magpul CTR stock and Nikon p223 optic. It now has an ACOG and sporting FDE furniture.....

Bought a Remington 700LH late seventies, early eighties. First thing I shot with it was a pig walking behind me to my left into a thicket. Shot it right handed through the heart before I ever added a scope. I can work the RH action as fast as needed, and continued collecting game shooting right and left handed. The buck I shot this season was left-handed with a RH bolt action.

We are a versatile group.

Most if not all benchrest single shot bolt actions have the bolt on the left.

The latest one. A pretty unusual Ruger American in .450 Bushmaster. Factory, but special order.

And the not-very-interesting "insurance inventory" pic of my Tikka .308.

Both have taken deer.

Is the rifle in the OP a Husqvarna, or one marked as an S&W?

Was wondering if anybody would pick up on that.
This one only says ‘Carl Gustaf, Sweden.’
The exact lineage of these rifles is more than little confusing and convuloted.

Right handed, but shoot long guns left handed since I am left eye dominant. Have always made do with right handed guns or guns that are lefty friendly like the Remington 7600. Picked up a LH model 700 in 270 a few years ago, but it has not left the safe.

Blessed are the flexible for they rarely get bent out of shape.

My custom 308 based on a Remington 700 action with a custom stainless barrel, topped with a 1.5 -4 Leupold.

 

[HardlyAble2]

Terminally left handed, sometimes I think might right hand is for balance and corn on the cob...

 

[SailDesign]

Leftie here, but I tend to shoot bolt actions from a bipod, so it is easier to have a RH gun. Others in the closet are single-shot levers (Win 1885, Ruger No. 1) that don't care which hand you shoot.

Those look really nice! Do you know exactly which year(s)?

Savage 110L's from 1959 are my other habit when it's not S&W's. 1959 being the first year for the lefty 110, I'm trying to get a whole first year set. So far I have two 243's, a 30-06, and a 270. Just need a 308 to complete.

I also have a much newer Savage 10 FLCP-SR that I brought back from an abused barreled action.
