Glad you enjoyed it rgds James

In many regions of the world, semi-automatic rifles are banned for hunting. a straight-pull bolt-action rifle is the best alternative. Not to mention the operational safety and the processing quality

As a left handed shooters and having tried a blaser..... because of the bolt coming as far back as it does and having to move the head off the stock I opted for a normal bolt action rifle...... would of loved the helix speedster but no lefthanded ones being made. Shame

[@fieldtester7655]

Hi, just checked and although they don't make a true left handed gun, Left handed shooters often adapt quicker to using a Helix by cocking with the right hand than a conventional bolt action rifle, if you have any further questions do please email [e-mail] Rgds James

I’ll second that no left handed rifles shame

good, but getting snow inside that bolt mechanism might be an issue...
