Yes they do. Some folks use them for high volume PD shooting too. I have seen some 1k benchrest shooters use them.too.

I am pretty sure you can contact Defiance about any of their actions and have them customized however you like it. Try shooting them an email and asking.
Yes, you are correct, they do make them with left ejection port.

Many of the custom action makers will do about anything (within reason) you might want. That said, actions with right bolt left port, or left bolt right port are 'single shot' bench rest actions. The absence of a magazine port in the bottom of the action helps promote 'stiffness', a much desired charicteristic of an action intended for extream accuracy.The idea of the loading/ejection port being on opposite sides is, the fore arm is on a rest, the dominate hand works the bolt and the other hand removes the empty/loads the rifle. The forearm never has to leave the rest. Many 'bench rest' actions do not even have "ejectors", the brass is picked by hand from the extractor. Who wants to chase their brass that's been handled with TLC at a BR match? "Push feed" is the desired set-up.

I think Defiance had a controlled feed at the last Shot Show. Check out their site and contact them directly and I'm sure you will get better info than second hand

I guess the reason that I was looking for a controlled feeding is so there is less chance of short stroking the round and hence jaming the rifle.
