The thinner profile 20inch barreled ones are a better carry rifle and shoot well from what I've heard. Still needs a rigid lightweight stock

Such stocks are available but cost more than two Howa barrled actions in the USA...

I think your local guy Ken Henderson does them too.

My trigger is 1.8lb Lyman trigger gauge
Just got a ball point pen spring in it
Have done some Experimentation so see what would happen if the spring failed
The gun will not go off Unexpectedly
It actually reverts to about a 5-6lb trigger pull without that spring in play
Nice safe trigger as it seems to have a fail safe

agree 100% both hands were used.....two swords,long and not so long.

Yeah i think it’s odd they don’t make leftys
However with a bit of practice a lefty can shoot a R/H bolt peice of piss
My mate is a lefty and has lefty rifles tikka’s etc
But he recently brought a howa 6mm creedmoor and says he won’t bother with lefty rifles any more after playing with the howa
He says for the advantages you get from a proper lefty it’s not worth the extra money for a tikka over a howa in his opinion
He’s quite happy shooting with a right hand bolt had alot of practice and shoots ether as quick as each other now
