Update to previous thread: I just called Kimber and they are not making Left hand rifles. So, I guess I'm back to looking at a Savage in 7mm-08.
If anyone hears of a new offering in .260 in left hand, please pass it along.

The Tikka T3 is made in a left hand version in the .260 Remington.

I just got off the phone with BerretaUSA and they said they are not importing a .260 left hand. What info did you have Dolph? |

I had just checked the Tikka website and saw that they manufactured the T3 in a left handed model chambered for the .260 Remington. It seems odd that they would not import that caliber. I will do some checking, but I bet I can find something in a left handed version of good quality in that caliber. It will be my challenge.

I don't know why I have such a hard on for the .260........ I can find a 7mm-08 or .308 from Savage. It just seems like a great caliber for a kid to use on deer. I do like the Tikka and the price ther're at.

Tip, Since you're willing to ante up for a Kimber, you might also talk to Cooper and see if they'd be willing to build you a LH M52 in .260. They will do special requests and they do make some LH rifles, or at least they did. A buddy of mine has a LH M21. They do catalog .260 in their M22, but it's a single shot solid bottom action. |

Tip69, the other thing you might want to consider is all the other 6.5 caliber rifles as that will expand your chances of finding a lh model, but retain the basic caliber.

Here are several Coopers in the 6.5-284 caliber and LH model on www.gunsamerica.com. A little expensive, but in the 6.5 caliber.
