I'm sure that the photo of the left side of that rifle was probably taken because it was a good fit for the composition of his book cover...

...but for personal reasons, I like the right side of that rifle better. Mainly because I have an affinity for nice-looking bolt handles & that one definitely qualifies.

In the recent past, I've been on a scavenger hunt for a LH bolt action rifle in a larger caliber which is what ultimately led me to this thread. I didn't really have a pressing need for one, I just thought it would be a fun project to try to build a 458 WM. So I've been looking at a lot of rifles that would be suitable for hunting in Africa including those where the bolt is on the "wrong" side. While perusing, I saw this David Miller M70 in 375 H&H below at auction & thought that was some particularly nice engraving. He does good work.
