.300 RUM Left Handed rifles
I like this round and want one in a LH action. I currently have a Remington PSS (right-handed) in this chambering. I was going to have a LH .375 re-chambered to .300RUM, but have decided to make that a .458 Lott.

I kind of like the recently discontinued LSS, but also like having iron sights, which come on the BDL. I like the stock dimensions on both of these. The CDL is now going to be available in LH in .300RUM, but with no sights. I've also considered getting an MRC action barelled in this caliber, to keep CRF. Anybody have an recommendations or comments. Any other RUM's out there I've missed?

Okay, I'm overwhelmed by the response. How about telling me what action/platform you guys have your .300RUM's set up on. Which one is your favorite. Do you like the BDL? CDL? LSS?

My 300ultramags use mcmillan stocks with bdl trim.

Thanks, stubblejumper. Do you leave the iron sights on your .300's? Do you ever shoot with them, or always with a scope?

I kind of like the Leopold QR mounts for quickly switching from scope to iron sights.

My rifles never had iron sights.They are 700 actions but the barrels are Gaillard and pac-nor.None of my rifles have iron sights as I have never had a scope fail and have no need for iron sights.
