Who makes a left handed youth rifle?
« on: December 01, 2011, 10:58:42 AM »
My grandson is left handed and someday I want to give him his first rifle.  Any suggestions for a youth bolt rifle.

You know I had seen some at one point, but I just went to Savage, Marlin, Remington, Ruger and Mossberg's sites and not a one compact left handed available as far as their published models go.  8(  Really, there aren't even that many regular Left handed models any more.  8(  You might consider a H&R Sportster .22 LR, because then the only thing affected is reaching your thumb a little to open the action.  Later you could get him a .243 or something similar.  Just as a thought.

My solution to this (14 years ago) was to get my left-handed son an NEF Handi-Rifle.  Single-shot break-action and can be shot from either side.  Later when he wanted to move up and we had trouble finding LH bolt-actions, we discovered he was right eye dominant.  He then set about practicing with a pellet gun shooting right-handed and quickly realized the benefit of sighting with his dominant eye.  Problem solved...
