Right, being a 'leftie' I was not going to be inundated by choice in left handed guns :mad:
Anshutz(?) for £500 was too damn close to PCP cost and there are some reports of poor triggers and short barrels causing noise........
So I came across Savage rifles www.savagearms.com left handed and good price. Now that's more like it. As this is a 'tool' gun I did not want anything flash. So I got the standard stock, pretty good finish, gave it a quick going ober to seal it in etc...
It's not the highest of quality and the trigger was foul BUT... I shimmed the trigger and got a nice firm but crisp trigger, I have put about 1500 rounds through it now and with WinX hollow it groups at less than an inch bipod shot at 60 yards so it's pretty good. Last night I shot a rabbit at about 150 yards standing without too much bother :cool:
All in all, they are very caperble rifles, well worth the money and the choice for right handed is now VERY good, laminate stocks etc :)
That being said, I will be selling mine for a Walther GSP....... ;)
