Granite Arms may make them as well as Empire.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Mass production? Right now I think 338 Mag is as big as any manufacturer makes.

Custom Maker? If you've got the money, someone will make it for you.

Been waiting for three years to see a big bore CZ and it still hasnt happened.
As far as I know Ruger never made a 375 H&H, 458 or 458 Lott in any left handed rifle ever.

Seriously, CZ has been telling me that for 3 years on the big bore lefties.

Left-hand Ruger 77 in 458 Lott built by Bill Atkinson, senior man at Ruger for 20+ years. All Ruger parts except for Shilen select-match barrel, New England sights, and recoil pad.

Two others were made -- one for Bill Ruger Sr. and one for Bill Ruger Jr.

Atkinson has since past away.

Anyone can have a factory Ruger converted to a 375 H&H or Lott. All it takes is to write a check!
I was referring to the fact Ruger never offered a factory left handed rifle to the public in 375 or 458, etc........
Sorry if I was not clearer on this.

Snowwolfe,

Yes, anyone can write a check and have something converted. And yes, Ruger never offered one to the public as a catalogued item.

But this one was built by Ruger people with Ruger materials using Ruger tooling. So us Idahoans might think a little different about it than one put together otherwise, but that is just personal pride. Not defensible.

Fivebigbores,
I never did shoot the first MRC Lott. Someone made me an offer I couldnt refuse so it went bye bye.
The one I have on order is due to be shipped to me sometime in August but the McMillan stock is not scheduled to be made untill Novemeber so it will be a while before it will see some range time.

MRC ss barreled action is just over $1,000 and the McMillan is $425 (ordered off the guys over at 24h our camp ground). Sure wished Ruger or CZ would get into the market as the rifles would be cheap enough I could buy several and really go broke,lol
