detoews,

I just got my left handed 375 H&H up and running. I had it built on the Montana Rifle Company 1999 long action. If you are not familiar with the MRC action, it is very similar to the model 70. Several other companies build left handed big bore rifles, although the caliber selection is pretty much limited to the 375 and 458.

I am planning my next rifle and am going to use the MRC action again to build a 404 Jeffery. If funds permit I may order one of MRC's prohunter actions to build a truly big bore, a 500 Jeffery I think.

Ruger's left handed long action in 7mm mag or 300 Win Mag could easily be rebarreled to 416 Taylor, 425 Express, or 458 Win Mag. A used Ruger can usually be found at a reasonable price and is a good controlled round feed action.

I haven't checked Winchester's web site lately but they used to offer the 375 H&H, 458 Win Mag and I believe the 458 Lott in left hand. Remington of course is an option if you don't mind a push feed. I don't know about the Browning A-Bolt, I have seen the barrels on two of them split. Neither were obstructed so am justifiably shy of them.

Unfortunately, lefties have to have any interesting big bores built. I love my 375 H&H and it shoots like a varmint gun but would like to play with some other more interesting chamberings.

The big name custom/production outfits like Dakota will build you what ever you want. You might also check the gun library on the Cabela's web sight. They occasionally have used custom left handed rifles. Hope this helps. Good luck. Mart
