TAM Interesting you should mention Mossberg. Kind a forgotten entity for rifles these day. I remember when they introduced the Model 800. It was a well made gun at a really low price even for the 1960's. II tried to push them to buyer on a budget but they mostly ended up buying a lever gun that sold for about the same price. We didn't sell many, but the guys that bought them were happy with the gun. If the 800's are any example of what they can produce I'm sure the newer models are great quality.The Annoyed Man wrote:I am a southpaw and own two left-handed bolt guns in .308 - a heavy-barreled Remington 700 precision rifle, and a Ruger Gunsite Scout. The Remington was my first left-handed rifle purchase, and I had owned right-handed actions before that. After having owned a left-handed bolt gun, I swore I'd never buy another right-handed one.......it was THAT much better to shoot. It is true that you pay a slight premium for lefty rifles over the price of righty rifles, but for me it is totally worth it.Badmojo108 wrote:My only other concern is that I am southpaw, but I have no desire to purchase a left handed gun. So if any other southpaws have some advice on operating a right handed bolt action, or with specific guns they have found unfriendly I would appreciate hearing about that as well.
Thank you in advance for your time, and I look forward to reading your responses.
I'm just curious why you don't want a left-handed one for yourself.
BTW, Howa also makes some decent rifles at affordable prices (sometimes sold under someone else's brand), and don't be afraid to give Mossberg rifles a look. http://www.mossberg.com/products/rifles ... mvp-series

Re: Rifle Advice
I've been seeing .22WMR online and found an Academy with 60 boxes of CCI maxi mag JHP last night. I bought a couple.sookandy wrote:I have the Rugers in .300BO and .22mag. They are pretty close. Looking back I wish I would have bought the .17 so I could find ammo. I just got the .300 so I don't know how it shoots yet. The 22mag shoots pretty good.

Re: Rifle Advice
You plan make perfect sense. Not only for being able to use cheaper ammo in the rimfire, but since you're new to rifles the rimfire edition is perfect way to get proficient and develop your skills with much less noise and recoil.
