Does anybody know if the Weaver Tactical Picatinny bases will work on a left hand rifle? I have a left hand Remington 700 I'm trying to find a good cheap base for. I've seen the EGW's but I like the idea of the recoil lug on the Weaver. Weaver's wed site doesn't say anything about it being left or right hand specific but I don't want any issues with the ejection port being blocked.

Welcome to Optics Talk.
I too am a "special shooter" and have a Remington. I run a Badger Ord. 20 MOA rail. I'm not sure if the Weaver will work, but I'd think it would. You could call them, I recon. The EGW is considered by most to be a decent rail and fairly inexpensive.

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

I also have a Badger on one of my rifles and I really like it but I'm looking for a decent cheap alternative. If the Weaver doesn't pan out all probably go with the EGW.

I have a weaver picatinny rail on a remmy 700 and it won't work for a lefty. The underside of the base is milled at an angle that opens in the wrong direction.
They might have a more "universal" tactical mount that would work though. Sorry just not knowledgeable enough to thoroughly answer your question. |

Well you told me exactly what I needed to know. Sometimes it's a curse being a lefty...
