As of a year ago, I have finally replaced all of my right handed rifles with lefties. While I have fewer rifles than at any time over the past 15 years, I am satisfied with these four bolt action lefties:
- CZ 452 (22 LR)
- CZ 527 (.223 Rem.)
- Savage M77 Hawkeye (204 Ruger)
- Savage 93GL (22 WMR)
Finally, the pride of the gun safe is a truly ambidextrous Ruger No. 1V in 222 Rem. That rifle is one of a kind, as Ruger never built a 1V in 222. I had a 1A converted to a 1V with a Krieger barrel, a Jard 1.75 lb. trigger and a 1V stock.
The bad news is theleft handed CZ 452, CZ 527 and the Savage M77 Hawkeye are out of production. I still see the Savage 93GL for sale at several outlets but that is about it.for reasonable priced decent quality lefties.
You may have noticed I am down to one lefty in 22 LR. By having Don Stith make a BR stock for my 452, while being able to switch stocks in 5 minutes or less, I have both an off hand sporter and a light Sporter class BR rifle in one rifle. That is all I need. If you have never seen the 452 with the Don Stith stock, here it is:
