[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1025073, member: 41338"] Lots of guys shoot a right handed rifle off their left side and they do just fine. I doubt it makes any difference on the first shot however if your standing up and shooting, you need to toss the rifle up in the air a little bit to to cycle the action and that slows down the follow up shot because you come off the rifle a little bit. Shooting prone, spent cases coming out in front of your face really isn't any problem but cycling the bolt in front of your face is a little awkward and you could pop yourself in the mouth if your hand slips off the bolt. If your hunting, I doubt it matters much. For competition, you'll probably need a left handed rifle. Either way, just do it the same every time and you'll get so used to it that you won't be able to do it the other way. Old habits are easy to break. Just break them. [/QUOTE]
