	DZ arms has a left handed Hepburn in 22lr for sale on their website. Figured it was hard enough to find rifle I would post it here .

	I looked it up. Nice rifle but holy cow 5,400 dollars? To each his own but if I am going to spend that kind of money it will go for an original rifle. JMH

	Some might prefer a Hepburn, a nice one, to a Holy cow.

	Actually it $4500 for the rifle seemed pretty reasonable to me. Though the stock shape and engraving aren’t exactly the way I would go, consider if you are not a BobW, a GT, or a JHM and others on here that can build a gen and have it turn out beautiful… If someone GAVE you a DST Hepburn action in the white free and clear, you would still have Shilen barrel $350 Thread chamber cut extractor $250 Buy knockout stock blank $400 Have George at Treebone carve ‘em $500 Checkering $400-450 Engraving $600 Color case and rust blue $500 So you are at $3000 and you don’t have a buttplate, you don’t have a metal fore end cap, you haven’t fitted or finished the stocks, you haven’t drilled and tapped barrel or cut dovetails. All that and If the free action you have isn’t one of the very few rimfires known then you’re converting it….and it still isnt left handed.

	Rifleman... Come to think of it you are right. I take it for granted as I am sure Gt and Bobw does. It's like oh well I will just make one. Most folks can't do that so if they want a rifle they have to buy it at whatever price and the builder or company has to make a living too. Still a lot of money to put in a rifle. Thanks for putting me in the same league as GT and Bobw. I aspire to be as good as they are some day... JMH

	Some folks prefer Winchester Wildcat ammo for competitions in their Jap 1885 Winchester. Winners prefer a better choice. DZ Hepburn, not made any more. Shoot the best and score the best.

	Not being left handed I never thought about it but I cant think of a reason why any Hepburn couldnt be converted to left hand just by fitting a lefty lever from DZ. Drill a new hole in it for the set screw and viola.

	I don't understand why which side the lever is on even makes a difference.

	How do we know that humanity isn't just a race of tame primates, domesticated by dogs to serve their purposes?

	Consider there are a lot of people that are spending that kind of money on a Shiloh Sharps or on a CPA Stevens Schuetzen rifle, etc. Nothing new ot have to pay for high quality in limited production items beltfed/arnie

	One of nice design features of the DZ Arms 22LR is DanZ has the block spring loaded so after ejection of the spent case it returns to just the right place where the next round is simply laid on the top of the block and pushed forward into the chamber without having to 'find the hole'. DanZ does exception work.

	It is my understanding that there were only two left-hand DZ .22 rifles made. So, if you are wanting a left hand DZ Hepburn, this opportunity will not show up very often at any price.

	So this is a true left-handed rifle. Since I have and shoot several Hepburns, I could understand wanting that lever on the left side. Luckily, I’m right handed, lol.
