[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1909443, member: 101791"] LEFT HANDED: I am left handed and I don't have a left hand firearm. When through the Army shooting left hand and shot experts in basic training using a M-14. I used a AR-15-A1 and Car-15 in Vietnam with no problem on either semi auto or fully auto. I never had problem using a bolt action, reaching over to work the bolt. You can get second and third shots if needed. I have a grand son, and daughter, she being left handed. They have been target shooting now for over year. She use a right handed bolt with no problem. They are using open sights presently to get the basic down. I feel that left handed need to learn to shot right handed rifle action, because that's what generally out there. So it's not a big deal in getting a firearm for them. The fit of the rifle is much more important than which side the bolts on. The other is teaching them to shot with both eyes open. A must if in the Arm Forces, if hunting man! [/QUOTE]
