Southpaws rejoice! The left-handed Lipsey's Ruger Hawkey Alaskan might be available soon...

The right hand models have been available for a while. This thread is specifically talking about the production and availability of the left hand counterparts.

I know what you’re saying but the right hand models have not been available with a barrel mounted sling swivel so that’s a new development. I’ve seen none in the wild yet-just what’s on Ruger’s website.
 
Just wanted to give a PSA, I spoke extensively with Lipsey’s about this rifle and they have confirmed that despite what is on the Ruger website and what the Ruger advertisement says about the barrel mounted sling swivel, that will not be being produced or on the rifles that will ship. The models will be the same as the 2025 run.

It never was a project. Ruger erred. Even if you look at the traditional offerings (Alaskan Bush) on the Ruger website, they have removed the images of the rifles with the barrel mounted swivel stud. They did, however, forget to remove from the description that it is included. I just received one from FFL and it was a slick barrel. Promptly returned. Even this Lipsey’s rep was confused and thought it should have it even after another confirmed it would not.

Thread 'Left Handed Ruger M77 Mark II 9.3x62'

Good afternoon fellow AHers.

I have decided to streamline my left handed rifles and try and sell some of the redundant caliber/rifle configurations that I have accumulated over the years.

Not quite sure how many I am going to try and sell, as I struggle with getting rid of my left handed rifles, since I know how hard they can be to acquire.

First for your consideration is a Ruger M77 Mark II that started life as a 30-06 in a laminate stock and stainless barrel, that I had Whidden Gunworks build into a 9.3x62. The rifle has a 13.5 LOP, weighs 9.13 lbs on my scale. The trigger breaks...

This maybe of interest to those viewing this thread. I've got a left handed 9.3x62 Ruger M77 Mark II for sale that I had built a couple of years ago. Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks
 
The stock photo in Odonata’s OP shows two sling swivel studs. The barrel band looks to be to be out of square both vertically and horizontally. If that’s the case I’d rather have one with just the forearm stud. I could install one and make it plumb, level and square closer to the forearm.

So everyone is saying these are still coming, just without barrel band? I’ve yet to see a second RH, much less a first LH.

I always try not to be pessimistic or jaded but occasionally I have been clairvoyant:

I never hold my breath waiting for promised left-handed rifles to appear (I'm looking at you Montana Rifle Company! ;) ). It's often an exercise in exasperation. Fortunately I have everything I want so I follow offerings like this more out of hopeful enthusiasm for a new left-handed rifle than a desperate need to fill an empty slot. I've gotten really good at talking myself out of new rifle purchases over the last couple of years.

A lot of newer left-handed rifles are offered in modern short-action cartridges. Being a nostalgic fan of long-action classics is one of the reasons this particular possibility caught my attention.

It is my understanding that LH rifles will NOT be available and that is was an err on Ruger’s part.

Thank you for the LIKE on my old post. It brought back memories as I lost her a year and a half ago, at 18+ years.
