[QUOTE="GBA1776, post: 954386, member: 20522"] Im Comfortable with both I routinely shoot my bolt gun left handed and run the bolt with the right, its very fast and since its not a big caliber its very accurate because recoil doesnt blow me off target. And with a good load on the bipod even working the bolt has little effect on my point of aim. When I shoot pistol I use my left eye but hold the gun right handed, I can switch but im more comfortable right handed The problem is I cant shoot this gun left handed without taking hot brass right in the face, Its an AR and the "brass deflector" just plain doesnt work, it actually seems to make it worse. On my Carbine upper I can shoot left handed the brass comes back hits the deflector and bounces 4 ft right and 4 ft back . On my 18" "SPR" upper where I have the issue with the crosshair appearing canted the brass comes out and hits the deflector but just spins and goes straigh back and if im shooting left handed the spent casing is super hot and spinning violently and hits either my glasses or it will hit me right in the mouth. Once you have taken a piping hot .223 to the face 3" from the ejection port its not an experience you want to repeat, the first and last time it happened the case hit my lip right on my teeth and I ended up very suprised and bleeding. Its hard to concentrate on shooting fundamentals and follow through if the recoil is a bit much, but its impossible to do when you basically get slapped in the face after every shot. I am going to try try tweaking the ejector spring to make the rounds go somewhere else but, i dont look forward to getting down on the gun to test it. Ill be able to do some shooting out to about 800 this weekend so i will get to find out if that "cant" is a problem or if its just the way my brain is interpreting what im seeing [/QUOTE]
