What if a rifle you really want only comes in right handed models? That happens to me often. Like the Tikka CTR. Then you find a good gunsmith and have one built. To my limited knowledge a factory left hand bolt gun chambered in 26 Nosler doesn't exist! Very nice. I like it! Which rifle is that? My new one. The 26 Nosler that I had ARP build for me.

Another Leftie here. Always used rh bolt guns till 2007 (I'm 56 yo). Ordered a Savage LH in 300 wsm and realized I liked this. I have also bought a Sako LH in 270. Would not trade for these. Now my sons are not too happy about it for inheritance reasons. I just told them not to be in too big a hurry to get the rh ones! I also hunt with levers in 30-30 and 444 Marlin.

I have a few RH rifles however I typically only use LH bolt actions.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Everyone else will get the shotguns and pistols.

I'm just happy there are plenty of us lefties actually around. Sometimes I feel alone with my RH bolt gun, cycling rounds like the sniper in saving private ryan.
