the southpaw side of the crew here are always discussing the lack of LH rifles available.

There has been a true, built from the ground up custom LH barreled action in the classifieds for about a week, and none of you tire kickers have even posted on it.

How does that happen?

ISS

Because, like your claims of having taken dozens of 300+ point bulls on public land, the details on that rifle are unsubstantiated.

$1750.00 for a left hand action, not a magnum length action, made in Japan with Soyo South Paw stenciled in the side is what I have been looking for all my life.

Sorry, I forgot to add it has a 30-06 barrel screwed on it. WOW!!!

All that. It's not worth $500 to me.

For less than half of that price I can buy a left handed Zastava Mauser. I can then tear it down and sell off the extra parts and build a custom gun in a chambering that I like.

I have a LH PO Ackley Mauser in a 308 target configuration made by H McGowen in 1967 ( bona fides available) that I would part with for $2750.

It has Lyman target sights and I added a EGW picatinny rail for scope use. Beautiful metal finish, prone stock. Devcon steel bedding replaced the old acraglas.


Me, I use my M70 300H&H quite effectively as is.

Is it set up as an Across the Course rifle?

George has this right...on both counts.

Well, since nobody here ever saw the original post, including our esteemed moderator; it is still a bullshit lie.

I expected a bit more fairness and common sense, but since this moderator has asked me not to ever PM him again, I can live with this.

Got a copy of that original PM to post, either of you?

didn't think so...

No, as it has no clip slot, but indeed holds 5 down, so a clip slot added would make it useful XTC.

The old Lyman sights are not up to todays standards as well- but adding a Warner top mount on the EGW rail or Phoenix/RPA and a taller FS assembly w/ iris would get you there handily.

I have considered this for my future XTC efforts, but I am sticking with the service rifle for now.

Which part, the left hand...?

Go away please.

I spoke with the OP and he was very straightforward with his information and I have no reason to doubt him. However, the action's provenance is unclear and thus, the action's value is diminished. I have two commercial LH Zastavas in my closet and I have no doubt they will become an excellent pair for my 7x57 and 9.3x62 project. I will wager they will be indistinguishable from this one when Dennis Olson is done.

I doubt this makes me less, Rich.
