I'am a big fan of the Reminmgton XP 100 but I don't care for the right bolt setup. (The XP is a natural for a lefty) Decided to try a Savage left hand rifle repeater action with a single shot follower. (I'am right handed) Seems only natural to shoot right handed, work the bolt and feed ammo with your "free" left hand?
Started out with a ambi left hand rifle stock. Shot it right handed. I like it so much I built a right hand thumbhole rifle stock with the left hand action. My right hand stays in the thumbhole for control and ammo feeding, bolt operation is left handed.
Picked up a rear grip pistol stock, plugged the right hand bolt handle cut and moved it to the left side.
Right hand stays in control the stock and feeding, bolt operation is done with my "free" left hand. Couldn't get more natural.
Only problem with the Striker action is you have to reach across to feed ammo with the right port or take your right hand off the stock? (if you're right handed)
And the BATF states if the OAL of the rig is at least 26" long and the barrel is at least 16" long, it's still classed as a rifle. That's why I built off the lefty rifle action. My lefty action also serves as my switch barrel rig from pistol to rifle. And being a Savage, it can be just about any caliber you want.
