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

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 .30-06Model 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 great
Model 116 FLSAK in .300RUM
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.

A good wife and a steady job has ruined many a great hunter.
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.Originally Posted by RP12
I will shoot clays lefty with my shotguns just to mess with people by "switch hitting", but right just feels better.

You boys have some real nice looking hardware here.
But, why do y'all always put the bolt handle on the wrong side?....
'Scuse me while I whip this out...!
They aren't on the wrong side. They are on the correct side.

I hate being "left" out.
Heres my first Savage .223 VLP 9Twist
Best target so far.
Same here. They're beautiful.....I should have been grabbing them when they were available.
Wish there was stuff here in PA big enough to use the 338 on. It's kind of hard on deer.....it even went through my bear long-ways.
lol ..... !!!
Nice rigs posted here boys !!!
Already one of my favorite threads !!
The wife with a couple of her lefties.
well there are lots of elk. but first win the lottery. lol.
or you could forget big and just concentrate on long.
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.

Shooting a "left hand" action on a right hand thumbhole stock seems only natural. You wern't doing anything with your left hand anyway!
