DB BillLeft-handed .416 Remington Needed
I have a friend who is looking for a left-handed Model 70 (CRF) chambered in .416 Remington and would appreciate any help you can provide....he can't afford a custom shop rifle.

SnowwolfeSort of off post but I do have a NIB Left Handed Remington 700 .416 from there Custom shop in stainless with a muzzle brake attached. Or you can pick a Win70 LH 375H&H Safari Model in blued steel with walnut stock new, but no box. The Rem is $1,300. The W70 is $975. I will be leaving the area for 10 days starting on Monday in case he is interested.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Considering that no one makes a production left handed 416 Rem, you might want to look at the M70 in 375 H&H and rebarrel it. Of course then your getting over $1,200. I bought the left handed M70 in 375 H&H for less than $1,000 and couldn't be happier.

pertinaxThere's an ad in Shotgun News from one of the big advertisers (I forget which one), listing NIB Win M-70 Safari Express rifles, LEFT HAND, for $889. That's in .375 H&H, .416 Rem, and .458 Win-Mag.
That's a good deal; I paid $1K for mine a few years ago. (And mine has zero problems-- no horror stories here. Shoots "cloverleafs" at 100 yards, too.)
I tossed that issue, or I'd give full specifics.

pertinax,
That has to be a typo. USRAC never offered the Safari Express LH in .416 or .458.

FjoldThe only lefties offered by USRAC in larger than 375 H&H is in the Custom Safari Express
Model 70, Custom Safari Express (Left Hand Models)
535919138 375 H&H Mag. $3,104
535919139 416 Rem. Mag. $3,104
535919144 458 Win. Mag. $3,104
535919154 458 Lott $3,104
535919158 375 Ultra Mag.$3,104
535919159 416 Rigby $2,790
Why the 416 Rigby is cheaper, I don't know.
If you know of anyone selling these for less than $1,000 let me know, I'll buy one of each!

And the LH Custom African Express models, ranging from $3998 for the .458 Win. Mag., .470 Capstick, .458 Lott, and .416 Rigby to $4663 for the .375H&H and .416 Rem.
I think for $4000, I'd go with Dennis Olson or Mark Penrod.

pertinaxMaybe it was a typo-- being left-handed, I noticed and remembered the ad.
Sorry to get anyone's hopes up.

ROSCOETalk to Karl at Wff Hein. They can build one for you for the same price as a custom shop rifle.
