RE: Problems finding lefthand rifle - XCR
I lost my right eye 35 years ago or so. For a while I shot LH rifles but not being left handed, I found that with a little practice I could work the right hand action better and faster than the LH Hand. IMO the 7600 Remington Pump is the best answer they give up darn little if anything in accuracy to 90 percent of the out of the box Bolt guns. I have never seen one that would not beat 1 1/2 inches and with the right load they will shoot inch groups at 100 yards. I have had half a dozen of them in 30-06 and 270.

RE: Problems finding lefthand rifle - XCR
JKody, I'm glad to hear you got some info on the 700XCR in left handed. It will be worth the wait. I have the same rifle, in .30-06, and absolutely love it. It fits me like a glove. I mounted a Sightron 'Big Sky' 3-12x 42mm scope on it that I really like also. The rifle shots clover leaves with Federal 'Power Shock'ammo in 150gr. See the attached picture of it next to the 260 pound 8 pointer that I shot last fall with it. I can now say that it is my lucky rifle.

RE: Problems finding lefthand rifle - XCR
Hello everyone, i know its my first post so take it easy on me. I did a search (since i am in the same situation) for left handed guns and landed here. I have a browning 30-06 a-bolt left handed and love it. I am also looking for a 25-06 for longer range shooting (150-250yd range) and was hoping that Thompson/Center was making a left handed Icon model but found out they currently are not but looking into and for possibly next year. I havent read the reviews on this forum enough to see if anyone likes/dislikes the T/Cs but any left handers out there if you can call T/C (603-330-5659) and tell them to put the Icon LH in production it would help- you never know - it might help us lefties.
