I dunno if being left handed makes you more prone to be a shooter. If I was left handed I actually think I would try to learn to shoot right handed to save the hassle.


It is not just an matter of handiness but also eye dominance. I'm left handed but right eye dominant so I shoot right handed.
I knew a right handed person in the Army that shot left handed because of eye dominance.

The 541-t hb I owned once upon a long time ago had had to have the barrel bedded and the action free floated to shoot well.
After that it was a1/4" rifle at 50 yards.
