Big bores for left-handed people Login/Join

Hi guys,

I have a problem as probably a good percentage of you. I mean gunmakers have a strong tendency to forget that we left-handed people walk the earth like the rest of humanity and that some of us are hunters who would like to go for elephant or buffalo. So my question is : what is the biggest bolt-action rifle available for me in the market? I know the Remington 700 Safari exists in left-hand, and some people told me the Mark V as well (but it seems - according to weatherby.com - that the only available in LH are Accumark and Ultra-light Weight)...
Thanks for sharing if someone knows something.

Winchester offers its Model 70 in .375H&H (you can always use their Custom Shop to get other chamberings).

There are used Weatherby Mark V rifles in .378, .416, and .460 around, but I don't see them very often.

Sako used to offer their Finnbear in .375, but they don't offer the M-75 in lefthand.

Dakota will make anything you want, at prices exceeding $3000US.

Savage may (or may not offer their .375H&H and/or .458WinMag. in lefthand someday).

Blaser offers a lefthand bolt for their R93 which is available in .375H&H and .416Rem.

I've only mention the manufacturers I have positive experience with. There may be others producing lefthand big-bores, in addition to the small custom shops.

Savage is shipping their rifles in 300 RUM, in left hand versions. I don't know about the 375's. But considering it's a Savage, a switch barrel in all the RUM calibers (and maybe a few wilcats) just became one of my projects. - Dan

Dakota arms offers all their action sizes in left hand. They chamber up to 450 Dakota (416 Rigby with .458 bullet).

Heym catalogs the express bolt action rifle as being available in left hand, but the wait on that could be measured in years.

Dan,
Do you have a model number for that Savage .300RUM? Is it based on the 116SE?
