Im shooting him in the face!
I’m a lefty as well, and also have a build going.. Defiance Classic action, Proof Sendero 22” 6 mm Creedmoor, TriggerTech Special trigger, I just need to order the stock, AG Composites Privateer in carbon fiber, I can’t decide on the color.. I have another lefty Proof Research Summit rifle in 6.5 Creed that’s a hammer, the Summit rifle was the predecessor to Proof’s Glacier rifle they offer now. There’s not much I haven’t owned or handled when it comes to left handed rifles, rifle building is a disease with no cure..
That’s awesome! I just sold the perfect scope for it…. Nightforce NX8 2.5-20 F2, heck of an optic but more than I needed for sure, I had a lefty Bergara HMR in 22-250 for a couple years, a lot of rifle for the money no doubt, I have no idea if mine was a shooter I never finished the barrel break in period, everyone says they are however, I swapped the trigger out to a Jewell and never followed through with my plans for it.
Check the Defiance website if you go that route, mine was a deal being left handed and surplus to their needs apparently, it was $175 if I remember correct to have mine get Nitride through them, they send it out I think to some place, 4 week additional wait, my action was in stock so no wait there, I’m going with a prefit from Proof and doing everything else myself, hopefully it shoots, my Summit rifle is built on a Defiance Rebel action and you should feel that thing, if you tried it once you would understand, this new Classic action doesn’t feel as nice but it’s not broke in yet either and I’m sure that Proof polished everything to perfection on that Summit rifle, that has a Jewell trigger, Oberndorf BDL floor plate and 24” Sendero contour, no brake. The stock is Proof’s own lightweight, they bought out Lone Wolf’s design, I think it weighs 18 oz.
My only complaint with the NXS is I like flip open scope covers and it drives me nuts when you adjust the power on those and the eye piece spins too causing the scope cover to rotate, I can’t stand that, I like a simple reticle for hunting, some of Nightforce’s older reticles are more my style for hunting, I can’t remember the names without looking, I have an Astigmatism in my shooting eye and sold both of my SHV scopes because the illumination was useless for me, the Digillum on the NX8 was fine, and whatever they use on the NXS also worked well. I think you could club a bear to death with a NXS scope and it would still perform, awesome scopes. My buddy has an older NXS 3-15 with the IHR reticle I believe it was called, super nice, almost like a plain duplex. The MOAR is my least favorite.
