I own both but once I found my LH Tikka 695 at the Nosler factory store 10years ago on clearance, I haven't looked back. It's a shooter and .300wm can be loaded up/down for anything in North America, except Griz/Brown bears in my opinion. I'm left eye dominant and initially taught RH'd but once my dad saw me looking over the stock through the scope with my left eye he switched me to a LH stance/position and it was just natural... that was 45 years ago and never looked back. I guess I'm ambidextrous in a sense (or just really confused) as I eat, write and shoot LH'd and do everything else RH'd to include all sports. In my case it was virtually impossible to overcome the left eye domination. I've killed quite a few critters shooting RH guns, but my choice is my LH 695 all day everyday.
