    Sticking my head out here again. Looking for a good, accurate, well-balanced stalking rifle in an appropriate calibre. Budget for the rifle on its own is about 1200, and 2k for a complete package with a scope, bipod, moderator and sling. Going second-hand, I'd expect to pick up the lot for 1500. Cheers,
    Dave

    I shoot using my left eye, this has made rifle purchasing difficult. I use a rem VTR .308. I like it as it is compact, 20 inch barrel and is comfortable to shoot left handed.
    €1000 -1100 depending on dealers. Oh yeah, It looks Cool !

    All the nice rifles are righthanded.

    I'd love an AI or a Unique Alpine, But Alas. Not Ambidexterous :(

    There are plenty of good left-handed rifles out there from the likes of Remington, Savage and Tikka. I'm just trying to find out who has them and wants to sell them to me. :p

    How about a ruger No.1. Single shot but will suit us and right handers. dont know of any for sale though! But for less than a €1k new, great rifle;)

    Tikka T3 lite in black synthetic with stainless barrell and left handed bolt in .270 €1250 John Lambert. Same gun in RH and blued not stainless round €1050 - discrimination for the lefties!
    Good gun & sound dealer.

    I was speaking to John the other night. I'd say I'll end up with something like that alright. Still weighing up my options at the moment.
