[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1685093, member: 8873"] Country, Never said being lefty is a hindrance, just that the industry needs to catch up.:D I grew up shooting right handed rifles too (not much choice) and all my issued weapons are right hand (no choice in the matter). For my ELR rifles (and ones shot mostly prone and over tripod setups) I prefer a right handed rifle, for much of the reasons you stated. When hunting I much preferred to be able to work the bolt and not break position for a quick follow up shot if needed. No way I can break position, run the bolt, re- acquire the target, and then make an accurate shot as fast as I can just run the bolt and re-engage. Easier to sell a right handed rifle, seems there is more of a market for them.:D [/QUOTE]
