Why the price hike?

So I have been shopping Christensen arms ridgeline rifles. I have found most right hand models from 1600 to 2100 in price. But I have been looking for a lefty and the start at $2145 and go up. Why it’s the same gun, it’s not special that it’s a left hand version. A 300 win mag right hand is still a 300 win mag in a left hand version. Why the price gouge?

Probably has something to do with economy of scale. You make a whole lot fewer lefties, so setup of the machines costs more per oiece.

I understand the factories , but these are distributors. I guess inventory is best kept on the shelf?
