Like most left handed shooters my age, I started out on right handed rifles. There were a few lefties available or at least cataloged back then but I rarely if ever saw them in gun shops so I bought right handed rifles.
I was pretty adept at running a right handed bolt rifle as a lefty, but in my mid thirties I finally bought my first lefty. What a revelation! It was an epiphany to finally have a tool in my hands that actually worked for me. I didn't realize how much better suited left handed rifles were for me till I tried one. Nearly all of my rifles now are left handed. The only hold out is my old Ruger 77V 220 which is going down the road to finance a rebarrel of a lefty Savage to 220 Swift. I do have a right handed 30-40 Krag and a Sedgley Springfield.
