Left Handed Stocks

Shooting left handed sure can have its disadvantages. For example; stocks - It is not easy to find left handed thumb hole stocks for heavy barrels.

If you have some sources, share them with me.

I've been looking at Stockade stocks they specialize in Savage and make everything in lefty as well.

We southpaws have gotta stick together! For laminates, you could try Boyd's I've read that they have a lot including stuff for lefties. As for me, I have modified a few right handed stocks to use with my lefty rifles.

For a synthetic stock, the Bell and Carlson duramaxx is tough to beat for the price tag. It's got a pacmyr recoil pad and a varmint barrel channel and is a relatively stiff stock. Problem "WAS" that they only made it in right handed and still do. But with a little guidance from the folks around here I realized that savage actions will drop into a stock with the main difference being where the bolt port is.

Buy a duramax if you want synthetic and use a dremmel or even a large rat-tail file to make a bolt port on the left. Just take your time, the material is easy to remove. If you really cant stand looking at the bolt port on the right, you could fill it with bondo (can be painted to match your stock easily).

here is a link to a rifle that is wearing one of my duramax fix-er-uppers.

oh yeah... if you have a centerfeed... the duramax needs a little more love to get it to work for a long action and will not work on a short action.

I love my Stockade Pdog.

I have a Choate UV in southpaw. Also, SSS can make a stock for ya.

I also have the choate UV and love it. Dont think I will ever go to anything else.

Stocky's has some lefty laminate thumbhole stocks.

Lefty is great. So where can I get a lefty mannlicher?

Northlander might have some left-hand thumbhole stocks.

Remember someone buying some left-hand barreled actions from him and leaving him such stocks.

But time may have caused my poor memory to fail or Northlander may have sold them already.
