[QUOTE="SixDemonBag, post: 1909435, member: 113754"] I am left eye dominate. I shot right handed guns growing up because my parents and my brothers are right handed and well, thats what we had. I absolutely hated being forced to adapt to right handed bolt and shot guns growing up but it was that or don't hunt.. the first thing I did when I could afford it was buy a left handed rifle and I have never gone back. I still shoot right handed AR-15s but from the left because they are just easier to build that way and the Military doesn't issue out left handed ARs so that's what I learned on. Figure when the crap hits the fan that's what I will be handing out to my side and most of them will be right handed 🤣 For a bolt gun, the vast majority of safeties are usually on the wrong side (tang safeties on Ruger #1 are great!) along with cheek piece if so equipped. Tikka makes some great light weight rifles in left hand for less than $850 and they are super accurate. I have a .308 Tikka lightweight will shoot a .3 if you do your part and that is with factory ammo. If you are looking for a shotgun Browning BPS are perfect for right or lefties. I recommend a Tikka lite or one of the various Compacts. Single shots (Ruger #1 / Thompson Center). My wife is a lefty as well and both of my kiddos are right handed... so I feel yah! Ask yourself this question: Would I force my right handed kid to learn to shoot left handed rifle for a few years? Great to see you asking for advice...most won't! Cheers [/QUOTE]
