I am after a left hand 7.62 target rifle. It has to be true left hand not r/h action in a l/h stock. I would prefer either a swing or a Paramount.

Think GT shooting have mark 4 going at the moment.

£1500 which is a bit on the high side tbh but they are getting harder to source

Can I ask why..

I am a lefty, but find a RH action makes sense.

Shooting R/H action off left shoulder with a bipod is easy. As OP mentioned TR, a LH shooter will have their sling attached to their right arm making operating the bolt difficult without detaching between each shot.

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense.. I learn every day.

I don't use slings, probably why I have never had an issue

HPS Target rifles have a right handed Musgrave in a Left hand stock ........................ as an RCO they worry me as i see people closing the bolt in all sorts of 'nowhere near the target' positions - one was closing on the ground at 600 with it pointing at shooters at 300 until I stopped him shooting.

An over bolt arm attachment can make them much easier to use. A true LH is of course whats needed. Beware of sights :-) clockwise up & anticlockwise right & if you shoot small-bore they are the other way round & if you shoot both! have an 'twiddle the sights this way' card on the firing point!
