View thread Contact supportThanks! I didn’t want the bottom of the barrel. The 110 Storm looks great and priced reasonablyThe Savage 110 Storm comes in a LH Model in .223. The 110 line is a grade up from the Axis line. I have the Storm model in .223 ( RH ) and have enjoyed it very much. It has functioned flawlessly and is dead on accurate. Sub-MOA groups are no problem with loads it likes.
That’s the issue. I added an email notification, in the event they ever restockYou can get a Lefty Tikka CTR in .223 but I don’t have a clue who would have one in stock right now. Eurooptic had them last year but I think they sold out pretty fast.
Would like to have a more economical rifle.Are you set on a factory rifle or have budget contraints?
If not, look into grabbing yourself up an Origin lefty with a 223 bolt head and run with it.
The expensive journey! I may end up going this way and pricing it together.I went through this Year's ago. Hear me now or believe me later. Just build you a left hand custom rifle. Origin as had been suggested is a fantastic option. I have one as well as several other custom lefty's and I won't ever get rid of my origin.
You won't regret it..yes you'll put in a bit more initially but with the ability to swap out bolt heads and barrels easily down the road in addition to the 700 footprint, it'll be a big win/win down the road.The expensive journey! I may end up going this way and pricing it together.
It is a little more money but it's a ton better rifle and it will be what you actually want. Pre fits are easily available and you won't always wish you'd just built what you wanted.The expensive journey! I may end up going this way and pricing it together.
The pain of paying more for the best fades quickly. The pain of regret lasts much longer.The expensive journey! I may end up going this way and pricing it together.
On point 2 check out this thread.I'm it the same boat , I want a LH in 223. Here are a few of my research thoughts.
1. you didn't say what is your intended use ? As my Dr. told me "your MRI tells me you have been road hard and put up wet"
so I only shoot from a bench.
2. Tikka , I have a Tac 1, don't know about the CRT , but, as far as I know there are NO aftermarket LH triggers for Tikka's. If you don't mind about a 1/4" of 1st stage travel there are replacement trigger springs that get the 2nd stage down to about 16 + oz.
3. The Savage Storm, looks like it comes with a light Wt. BBL
4. A lot of my reading suggests that LH shooters should use RH rifles and RH shooters should use LH rifles. Even the USMC scout /sniper school used ** to teach LH shooters to use RH rifles. My thoughts are leading to starting with a budget RH 223 , probably the Savage Axis ll Precision as it comes in a chassis and has a 1-7 twist Bbl. to handle the heavier 223 bullets.
** thank you woke bidden
KRG Midas in left hand. Only issue right now is when you're engaging the safety, it feels like there's a middle position. I used the KRG spring so hopefully the stiffer Tikka spring will fix that.
It is against the SH creed to allow anyone to go the way of a " budget " gun!I went through this Year's ago. Hear me now or believe me later. Just build you a left hand custom rifle.

That's about APIIt is against the SH creed to allow anyone to go the way of a " budget " gun!
True, but there's a reason for that. We've been down that road and it almost always ends in just building what you want, so why mess with the halfway measures and spend most of the money on those halfway measures, just get what you want to begin with and skip all that other crap, and have a much better rifle.It is against the SH creed to allow anyone to go the way of a " budget " gun!
AMEN Brother. The cheap route usually finds a bunch of stuff gathering dust in the back of the closet or gun safe. Get the right stuff the first time, and be happy. I know I have my dust collectors.True, but there's a reason for that.

I don`t necessarily disagree, but I would submit that an initial foray into almost ANYTHING sees many (most ? ) start off on the " budget " end of the scale. Maybe they just want to be sure that they`ll want to stick with whatever it is that they`re exploring. And as hard as it is perhaps for many " seasoned " SH posters to fathom, MAYBE they just don`t have the financial wherewithal to go from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds so to speak directly to an upper level ( maybe even mid-level ) piece by piece custom dream gun. Would that we could all do that!AMEN Brother. The cheap route usually finds a bunch of stuff gathering dust in the back of the closet or gun safe. Get the right stuff the first time, and be happy.

That's why I always advocate taking a class first. A good class is less expensive than even a base Ruger American and a Leupold VX Freedom scope. I don't just do this on SH, but also elsewhere. Take the class, shoot a good loaner rifle, see where a fellow might can go and then make the financial decisions.I don`t necessarily disagree, but I would submit that an initial foray into almost ANYTHING sees many (most ? ) start off on the " budget " end of the scale.

I learned this years ago with guitars. An expensive PRS wont make you a better player...but it wont hold you back...and will hold its value. Cheap is always cheap.That's why I always advocate taking a class first. A good class is less expensive than even a base Ruger American and a Leupold VX Freedom scope.

The fun of shooting steel is shooting steel. Its a lot easier with a good rifle and a quality scope. Finishing last place (or shooting for fun and never hitting a target) and looking really stupid is not fun if it remains extended. What is sad, is being saddled with cheap stuff that is holding the shooter back. What is sader is having a closet full of paid for stuff that isn't worth the dust it is collecting.
That is the point, take the class, find out what works and then spend the cash.

I just got done building a custom 7mm rem mag. Funds are tight for another custom buildI don`t necessarily disagree, but I would submit that an initial foray into almost ANYTHING sees many (most ? ) start off on the " budget " end of the scale.

I’d like to find a class in Arizona. I’m still trying to figure out how to dope in my kestrel for shots.That's why I always advocate taking a class first.
