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.

one thing that has been a total PIA is that i was only taught to shoot R-handed, which i am,..... not a mistake i'll make with my boys and appears to be that I'll have one R and one L...... Now i can shoot R/L w/o too much awkwardness.... Now every range session is done at least 50/50 righty lefty

My oldest grandson is a southpaw so it looks like he will get all of the lefty bolt actions. 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.
