Left-Hand Tikka Rifles?
« on: March 09, 2007, 10:30:55 AM »
I converted my Rem 700 270 Win into a 338-06 and now I think I need another 270 Win.  What does Tikka offer in a Left-Hand 270 Win.  I've been to their web site and couldn't find any southpaw rifles.  What's going on there?

I don't know why Beretta lists the left-handed Sako model 75 on their website but says nothing about the left handed Tikkas.  Go to gunbroker.com and look them up there.  You should be able to find out what's available.

There is a nice shop close to me (60 miles or so) that had several left-handed Tikkas a few weeks ago when I was down there. I do not recall the calibers but here is their website and phone number.

I guess what I really want to know is if they have any left-hand rifles in the Hunter model with the wood stock?

 I just looked at a bunch of Southpaws at discountgunner.com he's on Gunbroker. Also try this guy he's pretty good . http://www.onpointsupply.com/cart.php?target=category&category_id=2566

 I have a few firends and a wife that a Southy's,she's looking at a Stainless/syn in 7mm-08. I think my buddys are Hunters,don't know if they are T-3's though.

The only thing I have been able to find is the L-H Stainless and plastic stock.  I really want a walnut stock.  So I guess I'll buy a Ruger Hawkeye.

I have a Whitetail Hunter L-H in 25-06 and I love that rifle.  But, that is a discontinured model.  The T-3 is it's replacement and it looks like there's no walnut stock in the L-H line-up.  Rather have the Tikka than a Ruger, but looks like the Ruger is going to win.

When I was shopping for my lefty I just called Beretta customer service and asked for a list of calibers. The product numbers for Lefty in Light Stainless start with "JRTB4##" where right-hand T3 Light Stainless are "JRTB3##".

Here's a list of offerings For T3 Light Stainless Left-Hand, followed by the product number if known, when I last checked about 8 months ago:
30-06sprg         JRTB420
.270wsm          JRTB440
.300wsm          JRTB441
.300win mag     JRTB431
22-250
.308
7mm rem mag
.243win

You'll get the most accurate info by just calling them.
