ad closed Looking to buy left-hand .223 bolt action rifle

[Whisper]

EDITED TO ADD:

I found one -- a sporter-weight Savage 11.  Doesn't have a wood stock, but maybe I'll put one on it someday.

 

I'm trying to find a decent left-hand bolt action .223 rifle for varmint eradication.  A sporter-weight barrel is fine; in fact, perhaps preferable, since my goal is to put a thermal sight on this and I don't want it to weigh three tons.

Would prefer something with a wood stock, like a nice Remington 700 or CZ 457.  I also have a soft spot for the older Savage 110s, but I'm not a great fan of the new ones.

Please let me know if you have one that needs a new home.

Thanks,

Whisper

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

Good luck on that. There is not many of us left handed on here, I don’t think.

Probably a lot like me, just adjusted to right hand weapons out of necessity many years ago. I have never fired a left hand designed weapon.

Yep, us south paws are and few between. I have two savage 110s left-handed, one is a 30 06made in 1959. The other is a 35 Whelan made in 1970 I believe. I also have a few left hand muzzleloaders. Also have a left hand browning a bolt in 7 mm Remington mag. I even have a left hand Flintlock, pistol and rifle. 
as well as a left sided eject A.R. 15.

I saw one somewhere the other day, can’t remember if it was at a shop or online somewhere.
