I'm partial to Browning.
Looking into a rifle for my left handed son maybe for his birthday
30-06 or 7 mag.
would like synthetic stock

Ive been searching on the website and just sent them an email, but asking...

Does the AB3 or X Bolt synthetic stalker come in left handed?

I only see a couple models that are listed as LH options on the website (none are synthetic stocks). Is this accurate?

Makes me think of this scene from Saving Private Ryan. Loved the movie, but they may have overlooked one small detail.

Wow, I just looked and all current production does not have those options. Hopefully they’ll respond with an option but it may be considered a custom with a price tag if so. I’d probably just look elsewhere if that’s the case. Here’s another option... LINK

AB3 is a super cheap feeling rifle. I don't really like Browning but if that's what you want, get him the x bolt. From what I see, they don't make synthetic left handed guns. Your options are to go with the wood, pick a different gun, or buy the wood stocked one and buy a new stock. Tbh, I would just buy a lefty Tikka.

Any thoughts on the Remington 700 SPS in LH bolt?

Is he left-eye dominant? That's the determining factor, not whether he's left-handed. I'm right-handed, but left-eye dominant, so I shoot from my left shoulder.

I have a couple of Browning A Bolts that were passed down by my grandfather and love them. I am LH, so both of these rifles are put up for my two sons.

I am now a Tikka guy on the rifle in LH. A few years ago, I purchased a T3 Stainless Synthetic Lite in 270 and absolutely love it, fwiw.

I'm right handed but left eye dominant. Got a Abolt Medallion LH when I was a kid and never looked at another gun. All other guns I've held feel cheaply made and loose, with exception to Mark Vs, old vanguards, or Noslers.

I get what most are saying about the new Abolts, and agree. Look for a used Medallion in wood in a non barrel burner (270, 30-06/308, 7mm-08)

I bought a browning a-bolt stainless 30-06 with a leupold 2.5-10x40 in 1997 from a lefty. I got it for $800. I've killed a shite ton of animals with that gun. It shoots like a dream. Got a deal from a lefty trying to shoot righty.
