Yeah, for me I’d have definitely been interested in a 243!!! Zero interest in a 270, but if it was a 280…. I already have a LH 338 Win. A 308 Win could be interesting!?!?

Left handed safari rifles are difficult to find. I suffer from the same affliction of being left handed. Also, rifles such as Winchester Model 70s can be got for a right handed shooter for usually well under $2500. A left handed rifle of the same make and model easily go for north of $2500.

I’d buy one of each if they made it in LH!!!! But alas, they do not…

I agree with you 100%!!! I look at several venues including auctions to find LH rifles. The last LH 375 H&H that I saw was a Winchester Model 70 Super Express for $4600 on GB. That rifle was priced about $2000 too high, or I’d have bought it!!!

As someone who is constantly looking for LH rifles on any format that I can find, I would respectfully disagree with you. Demand is high for LH rifles, and supply is pretty low. I look at this forum (of course), Cabela’s, GB, Guns.com, and Guns International multiple times a week. No joy...

I’m having a hell of a time trying to find a LH magazine in 375 H&H that’s under $10K. LH safari rifles are very difficult to find!!!

I have only one camo waterfowl shotgun (Benelli M2). My other two are black SBE 3s (one 12ga and one 20ga). All left handed of course, as civilized hunters have!?!? Seriously, no duck or goose will care what color your shotgun is!!! Unless it’s hot pink or something like that…

The F4U Corsair is a warbird that I’d really love to get a chance to fly!!! I’ve always loved that airplane!!!

It’s wrong handed…. Thank Jeebus!!!

I bought a Trijicon Accupoint 1-6x for my 416 Rem Mag. Trijicon scopes have a reputation of being very well built. The glass is great honestly!!!

My favorite all around caliber is 7mm Rem Mag. It can do anything up to Eland (although it might be a little light for Eland). The recoil is definitely manageable. It shoots flat and the 7mm bullets are ballistically awesome!!!

Yeah, I’m not sure you’re behind at all!?!? Very nice collection of calibers and gauges!!!

Yessir

I’ve decided that I’m going to take my 338 Win Mag next August to SA for my plains game hunt because eland is on my list. I was thinking about taking my 7mm Rem Mag, but the PH told me that would be kind of a minimal caliber for eland. Since I shoot them both equally well, I decided to use the...
