Shooters tend to be an inflexible lot. Because I shoot on the left, (left eyed) I figured out a long time ago (shot a lot of RR factory rifles, and liked the configuration) that all of the rifles that are built on factory actions for right handers, for bench or bipod use, should probably be built on LH actions. When I have mentioned this to fellow shooters, in just about every case, the suggestion has been met with great skepticism. After all, what self respecting right handed shooter would even consider a left handed rifle, sort of like the time I told a fellow that was ordering his first custom action, for a bench varmint rifle, that he would find a right bolt left port configuration handier than the usual right right that he had been shooting. He dismissed the idea. Later, I took him to a bench match to reinforce what I had been suggesting as to "how it is done". After watching his first match, he admitted that he could readily see what I had been talking about. Later, to make him feel better about his choice, I mentioned that the Benchrest shooter with far and away the best lifetime record, also shoots a right right, right handed.
