I'm right handed and shoot left handed due to eye dominance.
I only owned one right handed bolt action in my life. A 22LR.
I got three bolts now and they are all left handed. Really wouldn't consider having a hunting rifle any other way.
I could consider a dedicated bench/long range rig right handed bolt, as long as I was never moving, shoot it left handed, maintain grip, operate bolt right handed etc.
But if a gun has any potential for being used from standing or kneeling position, and there is a potential for needing a 2nd shot, and it has a bolt, I'd just as soon have it a lefty.
My left/right bias shows in the amount of lever actions and single shots I've had over the years. I'll go with that thought process. Guess I have always been able to get to the second shot quick enough with the right bolts I have.

Good luck to you, Jeff.
I'm looking at a doe 10 yards away from me right now.
I have coffee in my hand however and am sitting on my carport.
Chris just texted and said "it's not too bad out here".
Light sprinkle here and winds at around 15 mph, gusts.
Back to my Keurig. Good luck. As if this was any surprise.

RWE,
Roll a T/C Contender (not Encore) action. You've got grandkids already and more will come along. With that, you never have to fret what side they shoot from, and can swap barrels and stocks to your heart's content. Heck, you could even put a ML barrel or a .375Win barrel on there for your thicket stalking endeavors.

thicket stalking is a moot point.
45 Colt during Rifle season, and I just found out that a cap and ball is legal for ML, so a Ruger Old Army 45 cal is on my wish list.

Go Walker, or go bust. Seriously, the Old Army revolvers are excellent.
