Left Hand Double Rifle Wanted

[Kozaman]

Looking for a left hand double rifle. I believe that I would prefer a .416 (Rem. Or Rigby) or a .458 (Win. Or Lott). But I would be up to looking at other rifles people have for sale.

My son and I are working on big 5 and dangerous seven. We both have scoped rifles for big game, but I am looking for a unscoped backup rifle for one of us to carry while the other is hunting.

I look forward to your replies.

Do a search here. there was a left hand Heym for sale that is gorgeous, a brand new 89b.
Not sure what your budget is but it is worth it IMO as I’m waiting for my right hand .470 for probably 1.5-2 years more.

I’m just curious…. Why not go with a rimmed cartridge rather than a rimless cartridge? Rimmed cartridges are more traditional for a double.

What calibers around what I mentioned would you suggest?

A 470 NE is probably the most common double gun caliber. A 450/400 would be good too. Or a 500 NE…

You would be better off with a 450/400 NE or a 470 NE

FYI - There is a left-handed Chapuis in 470 NE listed on the Champlin website. Other than having seen it posted there, I don't know anything else about it.

I stopped by Champlin in April while on my way to Tulsa amd wanted to handle this one but they said they had just sold and shipped it earlier that week. Their website sometimes doesn't get updated for a bit. They did have a lefty Chapuis in 375 h&h at the time.

I Shoot Left Handed...
How left handed of a rifle do you want??
A true left handed double has a left handed top lever and the triggers are swapped the front trigger is the left barrel and the back trigger is the right barrel.... The stock would have Cast On and perhaps a cheek piece on the right side ....
... IF... you are use to shooting Shot Guns, O/U or Side by Sides with right handed top levers stick with a right handed top lever and start your journey looking at right handed guns or left handed guns with right handed top levers ....
Everything can be changed..
Cast can be changed from Cast Off to Cast On and a Cheek Piece (which are pretty much worthless) can be removed...
Triggers which are bent for the right handed shooter can be straightened ...
these are the things I did to make my Double my Double
