[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 1909385, member: 106259"] One more thought, in the sniper world there are lots of very accomplished shooters who are left handed / left eye dominant that shoot right handed rifles. One of my good friends is a very experienced LE sniper (now retired) who teaches snipers schools and builds custom rifles for LE. He has always used a right hand rifle but shot it left handed and told me that he can manipulate the bolt faster and stay on target better keeping his cheek weld and trigger hand in place and everything stayed connected. I know a few right handed guys that shoot left hand rifles for the same reason, every movement costs time so fewer movements / adjustments mean less time. Having to acquire and adjust the trigger hand to the same position and pressure every shot is time consuming. All of that to say that your son learning on a right hand rifle ain't necessarily a bad thing, plus it make a whole world of rifles available to him often for less money [/QUOTE]
