On the Savage LH 22-250, the bottom pic, is that a B&L scope?? Nice LH armory you have there, Sir! My dream is to convert all my rifles and shot guns over to LH models, except my AR's. The AR's stay RH versions. After 20 plus years of shooting them, I've come to love the gas blow back that only a lefty can truly appreciate...  cheaptrick.....out!! | |||

cheaptrick, Yes, that is a Bausch & Lomb 6X24 Balvar. You are right about the blow back. I started trap shooting with a RH semi-auto and got a face full of gas and powder a few times. Now all my trap guns are overunders. I shot RH riflle in BR because of the loading port. But always use glasses. Here is another Rem sleeved bolt, jewel trigger, Blackstar barrel, HS Precision stock and Bausch & Lomb 6X24 model 4000. Good for long range shooting.  | |||

The part I liked best about shooting the M16 lefty when I was in the army was how the brass would fly out and go up your right sleeve and burn the crap out of your arm and you had to stay locked in the prone position until the "all clear" with the drills standing back there laughing at ya. ah the memories! | |||

I still have a scar from a burn like described by Tundraman above.. We were shooting from an APC and I was on the far right - poor planning. Two pieces of brass. one from my rifle and one from another shooter to my left, came over my head and went into my right sleeve at the same time. Well, they kinda stuck on my skin and me not thinking just pulled them off - skin and all. Ouch. Good story for BS sessions around hunting camp. that's also why I'm making my AR 204 Ruger on a complete left-handed Stag Arms upper. I'll post pics when it comes ome from the custom barrel install.

Here is my LH Winchester M70 Stainless & wood. I bouth this new in the late 90s, shortly after they first started making LH rifles. I have killed a bunch of deer with it here in PA I think winchester offered these for 2 years.  | |||

I have 3 of these and believe they are some of the nicest looking rifles winchester made. I love the look of stainless and wood.

I just built this this evening after dinner. I had a Sun Devil milled lower receiver at the house so I ordered a Stag 2HL (Left Handed) upper receiver assembly and lower parts kit and UPS delivered them to my office this afternoon.

How about a "copy" of a Browning 22LR T-bolt but turned into a "center fire" and chambered for 25-20 WCF? (still in the white) DM  | |||

DM, Wow. Now if it were in something like a .22 Hornet improved, I'd be on your doorstep. .395 Family Member DRSS, po' boy member Political correctness is nothing but liberal enforced censorship | |||

The reason i picked the 25/20 WCF over the 22's, is because i did extensive testing and the 25's at low velocity kill small game much better without blowing them all to he!!. Another good reason is, i also have a custom S&W "K" frame revolver chambered in 25/20 WCF too.  DM  | |||

DM - I'd love to have a 25-20 revolver. Great cartridge. I've thought of making up a Martini Cadet in that caliber for a long time. I finally had a little time to post a pic of my lefty rifles. Not the best quality, but best I could do in a short time. The reasons I will no longer shoot right handed rifles!!
