| What distinguishes it as a lefty , is it just the raised cheek piece? Is the safety tang mount ? Is there cast off or cast on built into the stock design...? Just curious , it's a beautiful gun ..

| quote: Originally posted by Biebs: Bob, not sure on them. A true LH would have the front trigger yo the left of the rear, and the opening lever would open to the left. The safety would remain the same, as it's a lever that pushes forward to load the firing pins into battery. I'm not sure if they went to that much trouble on a Blaser. it was a relatively limited production gun, and a LH offering would have been much more limited.
The triggers are in the standard right hand configuration. Blaser didn't change them for left handed guns. I enlarged the picture and confirmed that on my computer. Basically, the only difference is the stock & cheek piece. None of my left handed Blaser rifle wood on rifles or combination guns has detectable cast and is very neutral. I have a left hand BB97 combination gun (O/U)and see no cast in it, only the proper cheek piece.

| Bump for a beautiful, very functional gun. I have seen it and held it. It’s the real deal and so is the seller.
