What are good LH options?

[Zane1844]

I'm about to buy my first bolt gun and am pretty much set on the Begara HMR since it seems like the best of the few options. I'll mainly shoot this for fun, in classes and maybe competition.

I kinda just want to buy a one and done, without having to buy the rifle, then a different stock, then reassemble it. I've read on here that getting a Tikka CTR then a new chassis/ stock is a good option. But, I can't find those in LH. Which adds to me just buying something complete.

I'm almost considering getting a RH rifle since options seem to open up. The HMR Pro or Seekins Havok top my list.

Any other quality LH options that I'm missing? Is it worth getting a RH rifle considering the more options?

I’m right handed but left eye dominant so I grew up shooting right handed rifles, left handed . This year I purchased my first left handed rifle a Tikka Tac A1 wish I had done it years ago. You can make a right handed rifle work but a left hand rifle is going to make the experience more fluid.

What is your budget?

Not just budget but what are you using the rifle for? PRS? Varmints? F Class?

Not in any particular order..... Accuracy International, Barnard, Impact, Defiance to name a few.

I've got a Barnard on my F Class Open rifle .
Love the AI's!
Just in the process of finishing a new build on a Impact action. Shot my nephews new build just yesterday afternoon (he's a righty).
Have some Defiance as well.
If Badger Ordnance was still making lefty's I'd throw Marty in as well. I have two left handed M2008 actions/rifles and like them as well.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

My budget is around $2,000 max if I can find the right rifle.

Competition is on the bottom of my priority list. Long range shooting classes is what I'd do most. Though I'd like the experience of doing a PRS match or two.

Badrock, Ashbury Saber M700

Thanks! Their prices look really good. Though I can't find anything saying they come LH.

Tikka tac a1 come left handed. It's the ctr in a chassis from the factory. Model number JRTAC482L for 6.5 Creed or JRTAC416L for 308.

Badrock comes either.

I’d recommend the tikka. It’s the only one mentioned I have first hand experience with. It did take me a little while to find a 6.5 in left hand but I am glad I held out. It out shoots any of my stock remingtons.

Badrock is made by Defiance. Hands down better than any tikka made
