dang good question... I have called Browning about this, and also, why they dont make a wsm in stainless stocker in lefty. they said, 7% of shooters shoot lefty. i say BS. I have owned and pretty much backed Browning for all this time and they just cant make all lefty for all models and such do to it being a BAD BIZ decision. i just thought this is very narrow minded. so i needed a stainless stalker, and i fell in love with the TC encore for all the options and bought 2. Browning needs to decide if there in the biz of supplying stainless guns, or wsm to all, or neither...
