The left side bolt, right side port, is a nice feature when shooting from a bench.
But then a right handed action from a bench isnt all bad either.
I bought a right hand 788 for my now 59 year old son for his first gun, and he still has it.
I had often wished i had bought a lefty version for myself back when, but when the prices got to be $600 or more for decent used ones my better judgment always said no, so i bought lefty Savages instead.
