What about a NEW lever gun? I took a chance on a used one and got burned. But Browning has the BLR. If there is something up with that it's under 'warranty'.
Anyone ever use one? Thoughts?
Oooo, the takedown version is setup with Scout scopes in mind.
"The barrel on BLR Takedown models is factory drilled and tapped for an optional Browning forward-mounted scout-style scope base to provide a rock-solid optics mounting platform, allowing you to remove the barrel for transportation and storage without losing your scope’s zero."

I am a lefty. My Gunsite Scout is set up with the scout scope. Very happy with the rifle. Lightweight, great in the brush, or in the mountains. I also own four levers. Three are Henry's. Lifetime warranties. Affordable, American made, excellent firearms.
What the hell Tbolt? Standard bolt action rifles are lefty friendly.
Just get a Ruger American in whatever floats your boat, x51 x39 6.5 hipster 300 blow-up .243 fudd, just go nuts.
My son and I are both left handed, so we have also looked at left handed rifles. Other than Savage and Remington, you can get a Ruger American, or for more $ a Browning X Bolt or Tikka T3. The really interesting option is the Thompson/Center Dimension modular rifle since that has a quick change barrel and bolt to run many calibers on one receiver.
I have never seen a lefty bolt action in a store.
A Ruger No. 1 does not care if you are a lefty or righty.

Wasn't the Remington XP-100 reverse bolts? Since it was a pistol, the right-handed version was a left-hand bolt. (well, that is from memory, no longer accurate, sigh...) I never ran across any to play with.
I have never seen any left bolt action rifles stocked in a store. I once encountered a dealer in a gunshow who had several used custom rifles in various calibers (all from the same guy). He had them for a while, but when I finally decided to buy a couple of them, they were all gone. All I remember is that one was a .25-06, and they were all the same in stainless.
The only left bolt I had was a 12ga shotgun, but I couldn't hit anything. Turned out to have a bent barrel. Dad swapped it for something else, as it couldn't be fixed, he was told (creased). I learned to run a bolt with my right hand, .22rf to 8mm Mouser. Not optimum for a "mad-minute" scenario, unless it is on a bi-pod, perhaps. One makes do.
I was fairly ambidextrous in a lot of activities, but shooting wasn't one of them, for some reason. I could pitch in sandlot baseball, accurately, sidehand, with either hand. Batters hated me. Same for batting. I could write with either hand, although I never admitted that to ANYONE as a kid.
I did stumble on a Savage 93 in local big box and some in Cabela's.
