Left Handed Tikka Tac A1

[celtics10]

I never understood why all the companies refused to make a left handed factory 6.5 target/match rifle. Looks like Tikka is the first to do it. Even though I don’t need one, I am a big fan.

Cost of tooling and limited market

AI offers them...took them a long time to do it

Euro Optic shows a 24" 6.5 Creed and 24" 308 on their product page already. I'm sure they will take preorders.

I always thought there would be a huge first move advantage in the affordable left handed precision rifle market. Ruger definitely showed that it paid to be first, but with the left handed market being only 20% roughly of the size, I suppose it could be less appealing. I’m just glad there’s a quality factory option for lefties under the 4K mark.

Amen... i have been praying this option would come out. Very happy lefty here...

Now 6.5 or 308? I am up to my eyeballs in 308 components, nothing for 6.5 ..... Real first world decisions/problems

I have a Vortex 4.5-27x56 and Spuhr SP-4602 just waiting for that leftie to come my way!!! My reloading dies and ammo components are waiting also.

Just put a deposit down on one. Can't wait to shoot it. Now to decide what I have to sell to help offset the cost - I think it will be worth the hassle from all that I read so far about these rifles.

(I just hate selling things....)

Well, they're starting to come in. Have a deposit with my dealer and waiting when his distribution comes in. It looks like the left is a little better than the right - the stock folds to the left, hopefully, over the bolt handle, taking a little less room in storage. Or the bolt has to be removed.
