Re: Left-Handed DG rifles?

Once saw a Merkel 9.3 x 74R listed in Cape Outfitters flyer as being left-handed, although I have not seen that mentioned elsewhere. My 470 NE was made by Searcy. Because his guns are made-to-order with stocks fit to your measurements, a left-hand stock is a reality with this gun (nicely done cheekpiece as well). The triggers fire left barrel first (front trigger) then right, which is exactly as a lefty would want. First shots pulls away from face and has less chance of doubling than if the trigger positions were reversed. The opening lever moves to the right to open the action, which is NOT a mirror-image of a right-handed gun, but I am quite used to pushing the lever to the right with my shotguns and would actually feel awkward to have to pull it in the opposite direction.
