• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

- I shoot left handed using standard right hand models. Which Sakos come with neutral cast, without grip bulge, Monte Carlo stock etc…? I found an early 22ppc vixen that is configured this way - which other models? Bolt action only. Thanks!
 
Hi Clayton!
I too am left eye dominant & shoot lefty. In older models I did not find many left hand rifles, but occasionally one shows up. The newer model 85 rifles seem to have more lefty rifles available, buy some say they have several unpleasant flaws in them? I never owned one, but some of our members dispute that they have flaws. However they are being dropped from production? Lefty older model Sakos can be had, just keep looking at the usual selling sites & some will show up. Hope this helps, B/T

None of the L-series and A-series with triangular fore ends (those prior to the adoption of the "Hunter-style" stock) had a grip bulge (palm swell). The Monte Carlo on these earlier L's and A's had a LH cheekpiece for a RH shooter, but correspondingly, the plain RH side of the stock has about the same cast as the side with the cheekpiece. I am also a LH shooter who shoots only RH bolts and I have shot thousands of rounds from dozens of L- and A-series Sakos and found that they fit a LH shooter just fine.

Also, the "Classic" model Sakos were made with a straight stock and no Monte Carlo. You can find them in both the A-series and the 691-591-491 series that followed. You might look for one of those if you don't care for the Monte Carlo.
