Something like a swing or RPA. Must be true left hand, not a right hand action in a left stock.

GT Shooting have a LH Swing.............................£1500 original barrel, ghat may be very good as the proprietor knows their barrels but its very much the top end of a value for such a rifle & being unsold for ~3years reflects that - there is also a Cooper AI true LH at over £2k again i think very over priced.

sorry the Accuracy is on Gunstar - https://www.gunstar.co.uk/accuracy-inte ... les/946250 - if it was a new barrel possibly, if worn then nope too expensive.

I like the idea of the ribbed barrel Coppermatch (sic)

Ribbed barrel is almost certainly the original Maddco.

My 28" 1/12" madco is on 8500rnds & shoots 1moa at 1000 yds - they are known for longevity (Stellites you know) so it may be OK?

Thanks for the replies. I've looked at the Swing but I'm not prepared to pay that! Barrel is well past its sell by date so by the time I factor in the price of a new barrel I wont be far off the cost of buying new; and that would be with new current spec. sights and stock.

I agree its expensive & hence why not sold in ~3 years, however the shop proprietor is an accomplished shot & so does know their barrels - but is there any harm in asking them on life & price? A part worn barrel 30" stainless can be fitted for ~£200 & an 18mm ladder foresight+iris for ~£100 then its in the £1750-£2k region. New: Barnard, Gemini trackers sights irises ~£4500 & a bit more. so its still 50% the cost of a new TR.

The AI barrel is possibly OK NK? & who trusts Gunstar descriptions!? (but being a Madco I can say they are exceptional steel & I would fit one over a Kreiger for lifespan any day of the week) but again pt worn (good for 2-3k rnds) ~£200, or new £800 & the gun is in the £3k region but that one does need a ladder foresight what ever anyone does with it for TR. Am sure it wont sell for months at £2200.

Am afraid as a leftie your choices are very limited - one of my kids is LH & it took 3 years to find their gun, that was ~£2k & i have seen less than 8 off LH TRs for sale in the last 7-5 years. One may be round the corner? but for £1000-£1500 you might have to wait 3-5 years for something to turn up & then spend some on it making it worth attempting to compete with.
