back40, I hear ya painted into a corner and offerings for a lefty. I forgot about the Tikka, oops! I have never had a problem and know many others who own abolts with equally good reviews, but if your leary don't buy one. Ruger offer a ss/sythetic or you could look custom. If shooting RH action and the fit of a particular rifle is good, than go for it.

Yeah I hate the southpaw grab as well, you pay more and get less...boooo[:@] I guess that's the price of Perfection
