Want info on a new LEFTY smallbore rifle

[squinty_shooter]

Hey all, I am a CLA shooter who just shot my first small-bore hunting rifle match. I used a CZ 452. I want to get a good left handed rifle. Any and all suggestions will be used as fodder. Has Anchutz ever built a lefty? Does not need to stay in Hunter class either.
Committted in more ways than I care to admit too.

CZ makes left handed rifles; take a look at a left handed CZ 455 American.

Another, more costly, option is to start with a custom left handed action and build a custom rifle to fit you.

Another option would be a Forbes New Ultra Light Rifle. I posted a link to their webpage. The do complete rifles or will sell you an action. It is the model 20 on the left side of the page. They claim no extra cost for a left handed rifle.

Hi Squinty, I'm a lefty too. I shoot a right handed action of a 1712 in a custom Wooster left handed stock. I shoot it in both classes (like most folks do these days). Anschutz makes a left handed rifle, a bunch of them as a matter of fact. You could get a left handed model 64 action like a 1416 http://www.champchoice.com/store/Main.a ... em=2173060
Pat Steiger took a left handed fortner action meant for biathlon and had it put in a silhouette stock. Thats one fine rifle.
Plenty of options out there, more if your wallet is fat.

Anyways, here is a list of left handed Anschutz rifles that are in stock right now.

OldRanger,

I forgot you were opposite most people when it came to dominate hand. You know better than anyone at your almost freakish size and opposite hand how difficult it is to have a rifle fit properly.

OP- listen to OldRanger, he knows what he talks about when it comes to finding a rifle that fits.
