lbp,
because it's primarily a "right handed world" out there, it seems that lefties are always getting left out--one lefty desk to a room, right handed can openers, etc., etc...
but on the right side windage turret placement--it's one time where the designers dropped the ball, and subsequently, the lefties make out like a bandit!
not only did i not know about weaver putting the windage turret on the left side--i did not know about the simmons either--both of these are pleasant surprises.
