I picked this up in a trade today for an extra RPR in 5.56 I had laying around. I didn’t think I would like the left hand bolt, but it works extremely well even though I am right handed. My right hand never leaves the grip. It became intuitive after just a few minutes of working the bolt.

I plan to take it out tomorrow to test the accuracy. I’ll post results.


If you have one, please share your thoughts.

Don’t have one, but some of the most interesting pieces come your way it seems.

I have one, with plans to SBR it and add a Sig Cross stock for an easy left-handed compact bolt action rifle. I haven't shot it enough or at range to really comment on it, I haven't gotten around to filing for the stamp so I'm using it as a wrong handed pistol

I was looking at building a Pork Sword, Q Mini Fix type of rifle, but I wanted it in left hand. The chassis, price, and the oddity of a left-hand bolt right-hand eject setup just felt correct since I've always been able to look into the ejection port as a lefty, so single loading will be a breeze.

My only real concern is the fact that I have a 1:7 8.3" AR in 300blk that keyholes subsonic bullets due to the twist and length, and I wasn't able to find info on someone putting a wide range of brands and weights through the Savage 10.5" 1:8. My AR setup must exit the suppressor straight because I luckily didn't suffer any baffle strikes, but I don't really care to shoot semi-auto 300blk right now anyway.

Not a fan of the MDT grip, I swapped that out pretty fast. Harris bipod out front. I grabbed a couple Magpul 556 AICS magazines as spares, no issues but I haven't really used them much. I put a Steiner military 3-15 from the classifieds on top and it's kind of wild to shoot without a stock right now.

I wish to hell Ruger would make one of these for their .300 BLK American.

I considered one of these, but I don't get why the bolt is on the left side.

So you can work the bolt and still keep your right hand in a firing position. It becomes second nature after a few tries. I actually like it.

The gun is a beast at 100yds. This is a 3 shot group with my hand loads using 110gr Hornady VMax and IMR 4227. I have rifles that don’t shoot this well.
