Any lefties out there that can only shoot right handed actions? Mostly right handed bolts I should say. Dad was right handed and shot lefty with righty actions. I'm a lefty and shoot the same way. Tried a lefty bolt once and was all messed up. All of mine are righty bolts. Not problem getting back on target. Just curious.

Most of my rifles are for right handers, that is how I grew up shooting; right bolt left handed. That said, I have picked up a couple of left bolts in the past couple of years and sure like them. My oldest kid, and possibly my third are left eye dominant, so it is a good line to run by the missus to get a new gun once in a while.
 
I'm right handed and left eye dominant too. I've always shot right handed bolts and that's what feels natural to me after over 40 years of shooting
 
left handed, dad told me when I was little that if I couldn't shoot right handed he wasn't gonna buy me left handed guns, therefore I learned to wink my left eye and have always shot right handed. I can shoot a pistols ambidextrous though.
 
I'm right handed and left eye dominant as well. I shoot rifles and shotguns left handed but handguns right handed. Anything else feels strange. All are right handed except my Savage .223 which is left.
 
I to am left handed. I only shoot right handed action rifles. Thought about buying left handed bolt rifles but decided against it. Would be a lot harder to sell one vs a right handed one.

ALL of my rifles are right hand action and I am a lefty eyed left handed shooter. Give me a left hand rifle and I wouldn't know how to handle it. Been shooting for 62 years this way.

+1 except u have 48 years on me...
 
I also shoot left, but use righthand bolt guns. Lately I have been restocking my rifles with left hand stocks and right hand bolt cut outs. Makes the cheekpiece on the correct side of the stock. Bought a lefthanded rifle once. Couldn't get used to the bolt lift. Besides, everyone knows, those who shoot left handed are in their right minds.
 
smart idea.

the more i got back into irons, the more i came to the conclusion that i was left eye dominant and right handed.

i sold my right handed bolt action, and got a lever.

shotgun is an ithaca, so bottom eject anyways.

been eyeing a left handed bolt - any one have one they hated and want to pass on to me?

ps - all this is you know, justifiable at home where leftys dominate.
 
lefty here also left eye dominant,i can shoot just as well as anyone and as fast accuratly.i do have one left hand bolt it is a savage 17.hmr
