    If you are willing to dial down your list of requirements, a 6x42 by Kahles may fit your bill. Surprisingly bright, but it doesn't dial, zoom or connect to the internet.

    I had a BLR .308win (actually an MLR when Miroku were manufacturing for Browning) between owning right handed blots and left handed bolts. Good little rifle but I would not go back to one now I am...

    Pretty hard to argue with the list Ryan Songhurst posted. I would just add bolt on the left (er, right) side. So Tika T3 for me. Be happy and go shoot stuff :thumbsup:
