[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2010819, member: 94154"] If you're sinister (i.e. left handed), chances are you're ambidextrous, meaning you can shoot bolt guns left or right handed with ease. I'm right handed, left eye dominant,and shoot left handed. I shoot a LH Tikka 308, but the rest of my rifles are all RH, including all my customs. For a lefty from a bench, a RH bolt gun is *much* faster than a LH. Your finger never leaves the trigger, and if you practice, you also rarely come off your cheek weld. Offhand, from the shoulder, is the opposite - you want a gun to match your dexterity. I regard this site as one which caters to custom builds, i.e. dudes with plenty of spare cash - and responses do/will indicate that. Be aware though, custom can be a black hole in a bench into which you pour a crap-ton of $$$$. It is also fairly addictive. Shoot as many rifles as possible. In the process, hone your skills, discover what caliber you prefer, which action and stock/chassis you like the most. It wasn't until my fourth custom that I think I got everything nailed down perfectly. Now if I only had time to go shooting. [/QUOTE]
