Any Lefty or true ambidextrous pics welcome. As accessories are often hard to come by for those of us from the dark side of the force, this might be a good way for others to see and find out about potential mods/add-ons etc.
My First Savage shall start it off

If you think about it, only left handed shooters are on the "right" side of the gun. I'm a lefty but I prefer to use right handed guns.
I need to get some new pictures of my rigs!
What about a right hander with a left hand action in a right hand thumbhole stock, does that count?
116 FLCSAK in .30-06 http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...psf5138a4e.jpg Model 11 carbine conversion by me. 16" Sporter barrel threaded and braked, DBM Stock converted to lefty and shortened , re contoured butt pad, relocated sling swivels, painted sponge camo, tuned three screw trigger, bolt lift kit. it is 37" overall length. Most of the parts came from the classifieds here before being modified. I love this little carbine. Since this pic I have made a karstan style cheek rest from a sheet of kydex to raise the comb and camo'd it. It works greathttp://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps0f9eb333.jpg Model 116 FLSAK in .300RUM http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps0d5c1567.jpg Model 11 GL in .243 after a little tinkering and restyling to a "classic" configuration but before conversion into the .308 carbine seen above. White line spacers are made from a plastic sheetrock bucket. The fore end is ebony Min Wax stain and auto pinstripe applied prior to the clear coats. It is bedded and has a tuned 3 screw from the classifieds here. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...psab1b9e9a.jpg
Me too. I can shoot lefty on the bench, but I prefer to use my right eye. It just focus' better for me with scopes. Eye doctor told me I was 20/20 in my left eye and 20/10 in my right, so I figure I better keep my best eye on the target.Quote:

You boys have some real nice looking hardware here.
But, why do y'all always put the bolt handle on the wrong side?....
They aren't on the wrong side. They are on the correct side.Quote:

My first Savage rifle. Its a model 16 in 270WSM. I used JB weld and threaded steel rod to strengthen the stock and add a little extra wieght. I bedded the action using JB weld also. Added TPS steel rings and one piece base, and a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 scope. It's laser accurate with factory rounds, I'm hoping to get into reloading this year as well as building a Savage for my 9 year old for his first hunting rifle.

It's entertainment when a person who is right handed tries to operate the bolt of a left handed rifle.Quote:

That's pretty darn cleaver.....I like it !! Well Done.Quote:

Just waiting to purchase my bottom metal then off to the range. Wanting to glass bed it, but I'm very new to guns and scared I'll screw it up

My kids aren't thrilled to know they'll inherit rifles that will do them absolutely no good after I'm gone.....Quote:

Top to bottom they are;
ULA Model 20 in 6mm Remington. Wearing a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x40. Just over 6.5# as pictured. 24" tube.
Remington 700 KS in .270 Winchester. Early Brown Precision stocked model wearing a ridiculously heavy Vortex HS LR (for a Coues deer hunt which never materialized) in this picture. Forgot the weight and the rifle is now owned by another fine lefty. 24" tube. These IMO are the finest rifles ever produced by Remington with almost perfect ergonomics and superb balance.
Savage 116 in 6-284. This one sports a 24" 8 twist 5R rifled Rock Creek threaded nutless and chambered with a custom designed and ground reamer throated specifically for the heavyweight VLD's. Thick lug, forgot who's. 100% titanium FP Speedlock (offered for a very short time by Tubb), 5/8" Stockade BH. Custom BAS. Worked three screw. All set into a McMillan Hunter's EDGE inlet for an aluminum Rem 700 TG. Scoped with a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36 in S&K ringmounts.
7# 3.3 ounces as pictured.
IMO the finest lightweight Savage ever built!
Finally the jewel of my lefty collection, a LH Kimber of Oregon M84 in the ultra rare 6x47 twisted 9.5 (also ultra rare). 22" tube. Set into an MPI stock which weighs 19.3 ounces and sporting a latest model Leupold VX-2 3-9x33 Ultralight in Talley LW's.
A sweeter carrying and better pointing rifle has yet to be devised.
6# 1.7 ounces as pictured.

Here are a couple more of the Savage.
