Aside from CZ and Blaser, does anyone make a left handed bolt action 458 win mag or lott? Did they in the past?
 
There is a guy in Greenville, TN that sells lefty zastavas on gunbroker. You might call and inquire about having him import a 458.
I’m pretty sure Winchester has made some in the last 20 years, but good luck finding one.
 
...Check GUNS INTERNATIONAL.

FWIW, I located a left handed Winchester M-70 in .338WM on the above mentioned site. I then had the barrel pulled and installed a Krieger .458WM barrel. My very good P/H friend in Zim has been using this rifle as his "Stopper" since 2002.

Montana Rifle Company sold left handed actions, barreled actions, and complete rifles once upon a time.
I have a MRC 458 Lott in a McMilan stock.

Did you have to rework the magazine or was it a simple barrel swap?
 
Won't be CRF but you can custom order a Mk VII from ER Shaw for about $1200. Basically a savage action
 
There is one here.

...No changes other than the barrel swap. The magazine and follower were examined for any rough edges and pollished. The feed ramp was also pollished. Rifle re-assembled and test fired for function.

The work was accomplished by Gene Simillion in Gunnison, CO.

Twenty years and no complaints from my P/H friend.
 
I bought one of those lefty Zastavas in 458. Biggest gripe is light weight(she’s a kicker). Wood is basic. All around it’s basic. But the price is right. It will keel.

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
