[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 51727, member: 22"] NFIA, I agree with Darryl. Doesn't make much difference. The only reason I responded here is that I'm a lefty like yourself also and have had the same questions before. For my competition guns, yes I use a left bolt, right port configuration and I can get them down range pretty good for single shot actions. But both of my LR hunting guns are right and right. Just need a little bench time and practice and you can easily learn to reload without looking and by simply moving your eyes and not your head if that's needed. To make this point a little more, at one point last year my old LG was down and a friend let me borrow his rifle for a couple of matches until my new LG was done. That rifle was a right bolt/left port and I shot it as a lefty. Totally bass-ackward. With a little practice it was fine. Actually won 3 relays and 1 match with that "backward" rifle shot on the "proper" side of the bench. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Steve [/QUOTE]
