Well whadayaknow, a fully dedicated left hand stainless/synthetic heavy barrel Varmint rifle.
Hmmm, I like the looks of the wood stocked hunter. I wonder if this means we've seen the last of the LH Sako's.
Go to the Tikka website for the info.

sbsmith. As far as i know, Sako is not interested in having its 2 brands compete with each other so my guess is we will keep seeing those sako LH in the future.

Has anyone seen any of these rifles other than the lightweight's, I like the sounds of the wood/blue hunter in 338 Fed. and a heavy barrel in 204!!!

OK, so the Tikka's are available in LH but the Sako's are not. I wanted the laminate stainless or stainless hunter but it looks like those aren't available.

Anyone know a distributor for these?

Spoke with the Beretta rep and it sounds like Tikka Lite Synthetic SS LH is the only model that they plan on bringing o the states.
With that said, I have contacted Beretta several times about LH Tikkas and Sakos and have not been very impressed by anyones product knowledge or intirest in the the subject of LH guns.

It's because we don't do it collectively !. ALL lefty's need to sign a petition and send it too the Manufactures so they KNOW we want LH Models .
#'s speak far louder than individuals .

What you say we get a LH petition started and sent by E mail to all the members of Gun forums ?.
It couldn't hurt and may just impress some manufactures new sales lacky into bringing it up at a staff meeting !.

Give it some thought as to what is of the most interest to you , then post it . I'll follow or lead then others hopefully will also .

I have a T3 Lite in 270 Win, it is a great rifle, very accurate, easy on the shoulder both in carry and in recoil. The price of spare clips is very high though ($50). The trigger is very nice too.
