Thanks

Yeah, Tikka will be producing their new T3 line in left hand. Rifles will be available in the latter part of 2005, according to Beretta.

I'm taking the first SS T3 Lite in 7mm-08 that comes off the production line. :grin:

Also, it appears that Remington has done away with the lefty M700 BDL and replaced it with the lefty CDL. I welcome this change as I was never a fan of white-line spacers, skip-line checkering, and monte carlos. The CDL is, IMHO, a very nice looking rifle. The same cartridge choices are available I think (which are the standard 270, '06, etc).

Now if they would only make it with a "mauser" style action. Just kidding!

I can't wait to see the Tikka's. I will have one 708 also.

Charles Daly is coming out with a few "leftys" in their line. Notably 30-06, 375 H&H, 223 and 7x57. I just got a few of the left-handed actions and barreled actions and am looking forward to making up a few pretty quick. I am really impressed with the Mini-Mk10 actions and their finish etc. They have metric threading but that`s no big deal for my lathe. Glad to see them catering to the leftys for a change!

Something old works pretty well. Savage 99, lever action with top tang safety. Bought one for my dad several years ago, worked quite well. He, in turn, passed it down to my oldest son who is also left handed, works well for him also. This gun is in .243 Win. and shoots Federal Premium, 100 gr, ammo under an inch at 100 yards. It has done that since it was new, it still does it.

Varmint Hunter,

I would be suprised if they offered a t3 lite ss in lefty.

How did you hear of this?

I hope you are right!!!!

Rodbuster,

Like I said, I got that directly from Beretta. (via email) They said the T3 line would be available in left hand. They did not state any particular T3 variation to be included or excluded.

Drop them a line if you have a specific request.
