Looking for a .300 WSM lefty... Any recommendations? Would like to buy used
 
Just looking for your guys/ gals opinion on which .300WSM are y'all's favourites in a left hand format. Cheers

Limited choices in left hand.
-Tikka T3, but they will be a bit on the heavy side for recoil.
-Browning A or XBolt, but they come with a non sensical 23" bbl, and the lousiest trigger out there.
- Savage, not pretty, trigger could be better.

Here's my Savage 11FL in a Boyds Laminate, trigger has been tuned up, and it shoots very well.

I haven't taken this beauty out in quite some time.

The right offer may loosen my heart strings for her.....:thinking-006:

I've got my .325 WSM up for sale on here, but I'm actually in the process of getting a .300 WSM barrel for it as that seems to be a more popular caliber.

There's a thread in the buy/sell section, which is a good place to start looking.

If you can find one a Model 70 would be my choice.

I was in the same place a while ago
 
Being a lefty, and looking for a .300 Magnum, is a dilemma.

I finally settled on a 40 year old, German made, Weatherby .300 magnum Mark V lefty, as I could not find a .300 Winchester magnum - pre-short magnum days.

This got me started on hand-loading, as the cost back then for a box of cartridges was outrageous.

I am very happy with the rifle, drives tacks!

I have both and actually prefer the 325. But you're right the 300 is far more popular as well as a better bullet selection.

Seen a used Sako m75 or m85 300WSM in LH either here on AO or on CGN for sale not too long ago.

It's my first big rifle so I want to make sure that it's going t function properly and have enough punch. It's a real struggle being a lefty but I suppose patience is a virtue!

It's not as bad as you think. I have several in differant brands. You just have to keep your eyes open on the buy and sell. I've seen several lately on cgn buy and sell.

Isn't there a fee to access the CGN buy and sell?? Forgive my ignorance
