Pipe Dream, maybe
« on: June 19, 2021, 01:35:35 PM »
My wife is left eye dominate,  so she shoots south paw.  I have looked around a lot for a left handed bolt gun, that part is easy.  But I would like a 223, medium to heavy barrel,  and the kicker, I would like it to take at type mags.  I may be dreaming but that would be it.  Maybe someone knows of one I missed.

I thought about that combination for a while and don’t think you could put such a rifle together without some expensive machine work. I am pretty sure it could be done if you have enough $ .

Ruger American is offered in LH but I don't know if the Predator version with a bit heavier barrel is available LH.  I believe there is an AR mag version or that a conversion is possible.

My suggestion is scour the country and find her a Remington 788L in 223 or 243.
They are great rifles and some really good triggers out there for it.
