Redneck, do you reach over for the bolt or shoot right handed? I'm left eye dominant and made the switch to shooting left handed. Shot right handed when young but with rifles that kicked less and had lower combs. First time I tried that with a bolt action 30-06 with a higher comb, I didn't like it so much so made the switch. Always wanted a M70, but waited too long to easily find any LH classics in 30-06. So I ended up with a LH 300 WSM fwt which were easier to find after New Haven folded. One of these days I'll get around to mounting a scope and using it.
