Default left handed rifle question

Does ANYONE make a left handed stainless/synthetic rifle in .270 with a 24" barrel???? Can't seem to find one anywhere other that some of the custome made rifles.
I guess I could grab a L.H. Rem 70 CDL in .270 and add a custom synthetic stock and teflon coat on the metal later, but does ANYONE make a production rifle in this configuration?

Ruger makes LH rifles, as does Remington. The Ruger 77 is supposed to be a real nice bolt action rifle.

Ruger and Reminton do make some VERY nice left handed bolt action rifles.....but nothing in stainless/synthetic with a 24" barrel in .270 that I know of.
I noticed that in the Remington customer shop I can order a left handed Mountain Rifle LS in pretty much any configuration I wanted, but it's very expensive.
Any other ideas?

why ya want a 24" barrel? you can just a tad more velocity out of it over a 22" but it won't be noticed by anything except your chronagraph, then you would have to reload to see it. if your gonna reload might as well go with the 270 wsm
I have 5 LH rifles and 4 of them are custom jobs, thats what your up against if you must have it, ya gotta pay to play.

I'm not aware of anyLH 270win/ss/syth with a 24" pipe(longest I have seen is 22 1/2" on the Tikka T3 Lite lineup). Savage and Tikka both offer LH SS/Syth/24" barrels chambered in 270wsm, though.

Why don't you look at the Ruger No.1 in stanless ? It comes with a 26" barrel. You have to remember you are talking a 270 and 22"-26" it won't make a bit of difference downrange if one is shooting at distances that round should be limited to on big game.
