There's one listed, but woowee at 1100! Over 400 more than what I paid for mine...If you really want one though....

The $1,100 figure is MSRP but the buy it now price is over $800 in my area. They also say they have 99+ in stock. They must of made another run of "leftover" parts since the other ones sold well.

The dealer price is most likely in the low $700 range. Looks like Ruger finally got smart and started making what lefties want. With another 100 or so of these rifles the price should stay low for a long time to come.
Great rifle, doubt if I ever sell mine.

Correction, dealer price is $769.99

They are showing "Your price" of $862.95 on the Davidson's website, but with 99+ these should be showing up on gunbroker pretty quick for anywhere from the low 800's for the good dealers to up over $1000 and "RARE!" for the guys that rely on suckers, uh, the less well educated customer.

Added: Just went and checked, there're two on there right now for starting bids of $770.

Can't say I wouldn't appreciate 2 more inches (what guy wouldn't?) in the barrel, but will agree with the sentiment above, good for Ruger for producing nice stuff for us lefties.

I am glad they are doing another run. I know how badly I wanted one when I couldn't find any, and I have really enjoyed hunting with it. I've got a Vortex Viper 2x7x32 on it, and it is a perfect match. I hope another 99 lefties are happier with theirs, and I hope the dork that's had his listed on GunBroker for $1600-2000 for the past year finally takes his ridiculous ad down.

Bud's gun shop has one listed for about $828 shipped IIRC. They have it mislabeled as a 300 but the description is correct when you click on the link.

I would rather see a 338 RCM left hand stainless come out. I had one of these stainless 375 Ruger's, and I also have a lefty Blued 338 RCM. For my uses, the 338 is far more practical. Alaska would be a different story.

I've got a lefty laminate stainless Hawkeye 30-06, and your 338RCM comment just gave me an idea. What about reboring /rechambering to 338-375 Ruger? Is there enough metal in the barrel contour, or should I just rebarrel? Seems like a handy little sporter in an asskicker of a chambering would be a sweet and very unique boomstick.

You may want to consider a 338-06 as then your bolt face would not have to be altered. As long as the barrel is not an issue.

Just rebarrel it to 9,3x62 and be done with it
I had two of these done, still own one, and both feed flawlessly and are very accurate.

US $604 as of today. Maybe they're not selling.

Sale ended yesterday. I didn't check their site when the sale was on, but it must have been one day only. Back up to full price today, and lots left.

Yep, that was a short lived steal, back up to $862 or so now.

Just sent a couple of emails to the CEO of Ruger thanking him for making left handed rifles in so many chamberings, and asking for the LH stainless models to be brought back.

Or, since they discontinued them I'm sure due to slow sales, at least to make some limited runs of SS models like the .308's and these .375's to provide a few every now and then for us more refined left handed shooters.

For some reason I see they have a whole bunch of left handed SS .300 Winchester Mags left. SS .25-06's are still available as well.

I also asked him to lighten up - the .25-06 barrels, that is. I really like that caliber but 9 pounds all up is way too heavy.

If their sale had lasted an extra day I would have ended up with one, but I didn't find out about it until the 13th. They still have 92 left according to the website as of this morning.

I just picked one up (NIB, unfired) for $400 from an antique dealer. I think he picked it up from an estate. Got to love a good deal. I can't wait to try it out!

I received an e-mail from Bud's Gun Shop this morning with the selling price listed at $588, shipping included in the lower 48. Their item number is 56561. I have mine or I would be buying one.

They are showing two different rifles.

The picture for 56561 shows what appears to be a normal LH stainless rifle without sights. Barrel length is listed at 20" but length is 43", weight is over 8 pounds, same as the .300 Magnumm. It is listed at $588.00

411552632 shows the "Alaskan" model and the description matches - 20" barrel but length is just over 40", front and rear sights, etc. with a weight of 7 3/4 pounds, and it is listed at $836.00.

I'd want to call and have someone tell me exactly which one is which before buying.

Also - a tip. I like Bud's but use one of their payment options that guarantees you get the rifle. I saw a LH M77 .243 on there, I've been loooking for several weeks, and used "buy it now". I sent in my money order via priority mail. In the meantime someone else bought it out from under me. Not ranting, shame on me, I should have used one of the other options. Just letting others know - they will sell it to whoever pays for it first, your order alone does not guarantee anything.

Same gun. Model 7100 brings up both and also the version they had a year ago.

Just not sure if it has the barrel band or stud. If its a 375, it will have sights. If it was a short action LH SS 338 RCM, I'd be in for sure.

That model shows as out of stock, or at least it did this morning when I checked.
