    My nephew just received as a gift a trip to a camp for young adults in Colorado where they participate in a big game hunt. He leaves at the end of October and is in need of a left hand rifle in .270, .308, or 30-06, particularly he mentioned a Winchester model 70 featherweight. They have looked around Indy and nowhere had one and they all say 2 week wait to order. Price range 800- 1000. Anyone have a lead?

    Bud's gun shop online might be your best bet. Then call Allen at AA optics to get him set up with a proper scope.

    Checked Winchester. The left-hand model 70 featherweight is discontinued. No mention there of how long it's been out of production. You may find stock on line - Bud's was already mentioned.

    .270 caliber left hand:
    Item number: 535942264
    UPC: 048702110740

    They also made a .300, .325 and 7mm - details on all calibers here:

    Yup, for left hand and a nicer rifle, I think Tikka and CZ are about what's left without going custom.

    But gunbroker will/should have lots of left hand options, Winchester, Browning, etc.

    I will give 3rds on AA Optics.
    He has all the newest Vortex scopes and some others, plus really nice factory refurbished scopes for great prices.

    Check out CDNN. Never bought anything, but receive their emails daily and they usually have some oddities — like lefty rifles — that seem to be priced fairly aggressively.
