I started out right eye dominant and shooting right handed. After blowing myself up in 1997, I was able to still shoot right handed using a scope. In 2006 my retina came loose again and I now have a "persistent macular hole" in my right eye so it don't work real good anymore. I had to learn to shoot all over again. Holding a shotgun or rifle left handed felt very awkward then one day it just "fit". How did you manage to blow yourself up?

Long story short, one that was supposed to be 500 feet in the air before going off, went off about head high on it's way back down from about 20 feet up because it had a very weak lift charge.

I'd find a used left hand rem and build something

Hey I too am left handed shooter here is the solution get you a Rugar number 1 in what ever caliber you want. One shot is all you should need. I have 308 single shot. If you buy a left handed rifle who in your family will inherit it trust me I have dealt with this for years. Other solution is to buy a pump
Remington. Had one and loved it. Just my thoughts have a Happy new year. I am also a left handed shooter, my 2 main rifles are a T/C Encore, and a Ruger model 1. I love both. I learned to shoot with RH guns and never had a strong desire to get a LH, but I love the single shot rifles.

Right handed and left eye dominant / left handed shooter here. That includes bows, too. I shoot a hand gun right handed but cross the sights over to my left eye.
So, I buy left handed bows but right handed long guns. Anything else is weird to me.

I handled a Savage weather warrior in 308 this week. It felt good in hand and I liked the look of it. I have a very generous offer to shoot a LH Tikka so I may take him up on that.
Now I'm going back and forth on whether to get a 308 or 7-08. Decisions, decisions....
doekiller, when I make up my mind on what to do, I will likely be selling my LH Ruger M77 MKII 30-06, or trading it for a scope. If you're interested, let me know and I'll give you first dibs on it. I bought it new about sometime in that past decade. I don't remember the year, but probably 6-10 years ago. I've killed several deer with it.

Shoot that Tikka. One thing I didn't like about the savage was the bladed accu trigger I handled a Savage weather warrior in 308 this week. It felt good in hand and I liked the look of it. I have a very generous offer to shoot a LH Tikka so I may take him up on that.

Thanks for all the replies thus far, keep them coming. My son shoots left handed so no issues there on handing the gun down.
I don't want a single shot and I don't want a Browning. No specific reasons, I just don't, and that's reason enough.
2Dogs, is the Tikka controlled feed or push feed? One of the first left handed rifles I ever bought was a mid 90's Savage. It was a long action 22-250. I HATED that rifle. The rounds just rolled around in the action while it closed. Piece of crap. Swore I'd never own another long action, short action gun. I'm sure the Tikkas are fine guns as much as they're talked about on here.
The Montana Rifle Co. action is a controlled round feed action if that is your preference.
