Considering a HS Precision Sporter in left hand and looking for opinions on their rifles. Can't find another brand lefty stainless/synthetic I feel confident about. This will be my only gun for deer hunting. Thanks!

I have two, both LA 2000 series, 270 came with .3 test target and the '06 even better. They both are a joy to cycle the action, the triggers and safety are outstanding, the barrels a breeze to clean and the Stocks fit me well. Unlike the current fad for ultra light rifles these weigh 7 1/2 # which I find no sweat to carry when you know they will mount and hold on target and deliver that all important first round where it must go.

One of the real advantages with H-S Precision is that their cut-rifled barrels tend to be very accurate, very fast, and don't tend to foul up very much. They are extremely well-made.

One of my friends had H-S build him a lightweight .338 Win. Mag. on a Model 700 action years ago. This was before H-S was producing their own action. Anyhow, my friend's .338 was a tackdriver right off the bat, and would shoot a variety of loads well, and still does. He has never experienced a point-of-impact change in all the years he's had it. Barrel cleanup is easy, with little copper fouling. Mostly, he's used 250 gr. Sierras in his rifle.

H-S Precision built my rifle for the Winchester Custom Shop. It is a Custom Sporting Sharpshooter in 7mmSTW. Here is a photo of it before I mounted the Leupold Vari-X III 4.5x-14x scope.



Below is the documentation that H-S sent to the Custom Shop with the rifle. The test target measure 0.1326" for three shots at 100yds.



I've never matched that group; the best I've done with it is 0.220" for three shots at 100yds. with Nosler 120gr. BTs.

They build a very nice rifle.

I have one in .300 win mag.
Most accurate rifle I have ever owned.
Trigger is excellent.
Their customer service is excellent. Very good attitudes.

They have a new lightweight model. I would really like to get one of them for a backpacking rifle.

RE: HS Precision Rifles
I'm lucky enough to own three of their rifles. I'm plotting on when I'm going to buy #'s 4 and 5.
One on my rifles is a take down in 300 rum, it is a 1/4 minute rifle. When the wind is right and I'm shooting decently it will shoot hunting bullets into 1/2" at 200 yds. (180 scirrocco's and RL-25). My buddies' 270 WSM shoots 3/8" at 100yds with factory failsafe ammo. Between my three rifles and my friends one all have exceeded their 1/2 accuracy guarantee.
Overall comments; Excellent triggers, excellent barrels, good stocks and so-so magazines.
I find the stocks a little thick in the wrist (I have 4 other HS stocks on rems and wins), and I wish that you could get a cheekpiece on their lightweight rifle.
I'm a bit predjudiced against removeable magazines so keep that in perspective. Their in-line feeding probably helps reliability but I think that a properly sized and fitted double stack mag would feed smoother and hold another cartridge. My 338 lapua had a magazine that rubbed on the bottom of the bolt and made operation much rougher. I swapped it for another at the dealer, fitted it and now it works ok.
All in all however I think that for the money you can't buy a more accurate production/custom rifle. My only reservation would be be for a dangerous game rifle where I would opt for a control-round-feed rifle.
