I lost the vision in my right shooting eye. As a retired gunsmith all my rifles were custom. with the loss of my vision I could not shoot most of my rifles because of stock design. The ones I could shoot left handed I could not get use to operation the bolt. I was 72 when my vision went so I had a choice to make. Stop hunting or get left hand rifles. Tikka in 7mag and 7-08 plus a Savage in 308. Money being tight the Tikkas fit my pocketbook. Put new bolt shrouds on them and also raise the combs etc. All shoot under an inch and do everything my custom rifles did for me except they obviously don't look as Pretty. To each his own and also my Daughter has three of them. 7mag, 308 and a compact 7mm-08. All shoot under and inch and the compact doesn't care what you put in it, it is an awesome shooter
