Does anyone know of a left handed semi automatic rifle, 30-06 or .300 mag. (Left side ejection port) Who might make them? Where I might get one....

I don't know of any auto rifles that are left handed, but I am left handed and have had experience with a couple semi auto high powered rifles. I had a Browning in .300 mag and had no problem shooting it left handed. The brass ejected forward. The accuracy was poor with that rifle, shooting about four inch groups at 100 yds. off the bench using a nine power scope and working up handloads. I have also fired the M1A, AR 15 and A10 with no blow back or brass ejection problems.

I have been told the Browning in 30-06 can be quite accurate. I have been looking at the new Benelli. It looks odd, but handles well and feels good at the shoulder. Magazine reviews claim about 2 1/2 inch accuracy which isn't great. Oh, and I did have a Remington 740 that gave no problems, but wasn't very accurate either. I went to the M1A and AR-10 (in .308) for the accuracy, which they are. They are heavy for hunting, but intend to try the AR this fall.

I am also a left handed shooter, and have used a right handed Belgium Browning BAR in 30-06 for years with no flash or shell ejection problems flying across my face. Even took a nice buck with it this year 153 7/8 non-typical 14 point in TX.
