Where can I find a savage short action left hand bolt, right eject?

[Brownie36]

I want to build a 224 valkerie or 223 ai left hand bolt, right side eject. Savage action. I shoot a lot of Prarie dogs and I want to shoot right handed but bolt left handed so I can keep my eye in the scope.

My poodle shooting buddy called the Savage custom shop (or whatever Savage calls it) and had a LBRP single shot action made.

You might also try Northland Shooters Supply, or Sharp Shooters Supply.
Perhaps EABCO also.

You might consider a "lefty action", (I'am right handed) shoot it right handed, feed ammo and work the bolt with your free left handed while your right hand stays on and in control of the stock. (BR thumb hole right hand stock fitted with a lefty action)
And I might add, I bench shoot and single feed so my "lefty repeater" action got a single shot mod. Shooting short rounds that wouldn't feed anyway. Only problem is? It feels so natural shooting the "lefty action", going back to my right hand actions feels out of place.
Savage actions are NOT known for feeding/ejection shorter rounds so you learn to adapt to get what you want. It CAN be a fun trip.

Seen some Savage LB RP on GunBroker

Just watch the spacing....3.40" or 4.41"

Check out northlandshooterssupply and savageshooters. Someone will have an answer.

You found LBRP actions at northland?

Years ago, Fred Moreo at Sharp Shooter Supply had converted a few actions to the opposite hand. Don't know if he'll still do it. But that might be your only chance.

Awesome! A friend has been wanting to get one. Can you post the link? Thanks!

This is the link, but I'll save you the time. Savage has never made a left handed single shot precision target action as a standard factory(not custom shop) offering.

Savage makes Right Bolt/Right Port, Right Bolt/Dual Port, and Right Bolt/Left Port Precision Target actions in the 2 different boltfaces, but there have never been any from the factory in Left Hand.

There are a few rifles from Savage now that are pretty much the same as the Target action, but in a repeater, and carbon steel, not stainless.

There is another one I found on the web that has a Magpul Hunter stock, but it doesn't appear to be available yet.

If you look at the images in those links closely, you can see the bolt release is still on the right side, despite being a left bolt. This leads me to believe if you can get those bolt handles from Savage, you could convert any target action to a left bolt without dealing with the perpetual dumpster fire that is Sharp Shooter Supply.

I went through this same search recently, because I have a couple of friends looking to build reasonably priced single shot left handed rifles for F-Class and there aren't any obvious answers that jump out.

Which was the point I was trying to make. Thank you.

Left hand Model 12 repeater action in stainless steel. Left bolt, left eject. Top bolt release. Center feed mag. Mounted on a Whidden V Block in a "right hand" bench rest style thumb hole stock. Right hand stays in the thumb hole and keeps control of the stock. Free left hand works the bolt and feeds ammo.
Add a single shot adapter (from Sharp Shooter Supply, referred to as the perpetual dumpster fire) and you're in business. Add a longer "Tactical" bolt handle and no issues about leverage or (IMHO) the need for a T&T job. After all, no matter what you do to it, it is STILL a Savage.
