Remington 700 SPS Varmint comes in left-hand drive and is their base model. I have one and love it. You occasionally see them come up on gunstar or gun trader in LHD. Stock is a bit nasty and plasticky but mine had a different stock fitted by previous owner, bloke in my rifle club, and came with scope, moderator plus had some work done to trigger and the action polished. Fantastically accurate, plus it is a very popular rifle/calibre combo so loads of info/dedicated forums etc on the internet. They are also infinitely customisable so no two 700s look the same.

Supprised Howa dont appear to do dedicated left hand actions, but they do ambidextrous stocks if tahts any help.

Is this for TR shooting?

If so, I see that Fultons have a couple of left hand rifles.

There is an Accuracy International for sale over on UK Varminting.

Just had a look on their website,the mk 4 Swing looks good,is £1450 a good price?

Depends on how many rounds the barrel has. Go in and have a good look at what Fultons have. Ask Colin/Robert how many rounds the barrels have. Negotiate on price (for £1450 I would expect the barrel to have less than 2000 ends). Offer £1250 and see what they say.

I would add however that as a left-hander myself, if shooting prone off a bipod and so supporting the butt with my right hand, I can not only work the bolt with the right hand but, as the butt is in my left shoulder I can also see where I'm feeding the rounds.

Finally found a nice condition Winchester P14 in a left handed target stock,Schultz and Larson 1:14 twist 30 inch barrel,low shot count,looking forward to trying it out next weekend at Dorking

Oooh, a P14 with a S&L barrel sounds very promising !
