[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1126387, member: 24284"] 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. [/QUOTE]
